Rust Docs Server
Provides programmatic access to Rust crate documentation and item-level details from docs.rs via the rustdoc JSON API.
About
The Rust Docs Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to streamline access to Rust documentation. It directly interfaces with the docs.rs rustdoc JSON API to offer fast and comprehensive retrieval of crate-level and specific item-level documentation. With features like smart caching (LRU with SQLite backend), version support, and cross-platform standalone executables, it ensures efficient and reliable access to Rust's extensive documentation ecosystem, making it an invaluable resource for developers and automated systems needing programmatic documentation lookup.
