[FEATURE] Official Anthropic-hosted MCP server for the documentation

Problem Statement

Today, whenever Claude Code (or any agent) needs to answer a question about Claude Code, the API, or Anthropic's docs, it has to fetch documentation pages over the web one at a time — slow, lossy, and easy to get a stale or partial picture. I know there's an agent-oriented index page for the docs, and it helps, but an index isn't the same as a proper queryable source. The result is wasted round-trips and the occasional confidently-wrong answer drawn from memory instead of the live docs.

Proposed Solution

An official, Anthropic-maintained MCP server for the documentation — first-party and authoritative — that any MCP client can connect to. It would expose search/lookup tools so an agent can query the docs directly and get back current, canonical answers (Claude Code features, settings, the API, the SDK, model info). Think of the value people already get from third-party docs servers like Context7 or DeepWiki, but official, always-current, and trustworthy as the source of truth.

Alternative Solutions

  • Fetching individual doc pages over the web — works, but slow and partial.
  • Third-party documentation MCPs (Context7, DeepWiki) — useful, but not authoritative and not guaranteed current.
  • The existing agents/docs index page — a helpful index, but not a queryable interface.

Priority

Medium — would be very helpful.

Feature Category

MCP server integration

Additional Context

This would make life easier for everyone — users get faster, more accurate help, and the agents themselves stop guessing or burning time fetching pages. One canonical, queryable source of documentation truth, maintained by the people who write the docs. 💙
