About
MDN Lookup is a developer productivity tool that streamlines access to MDN Web Docs documentation directly from your development environment. Designed for seamless integration with MCP-compatible clients and editors like VS Code, it enables developers to quickly search for and retrieve concise, relevant documentation summaries for web APIs, JavaScript methods, and other web technologies—without leaving their workflow. By exposing an MCP-compatible tool server, MDN Lookup automates documentation lookups and integrates them into custom toolchains or editor extensions, helping developers save time, reduce context switching, and stay focused on coding.
