Overview
DevDocs crawls a documentation site to a chosen depth of 1 to 5 levels using Crawl4AI. It exports content as Markdown or JSON and exposes it through an MCP server with Table of Contents and Section Access tools, which Claude, Cline or Roo Code can query. The README states the public repo is not maintained and an enhanced internal version exists.
Who it is for: Developers who want crawled library docs available to Claude or Cline via MCP
