Setting up MCP Docs with Claude Code

Questions and Answers
1

Hi!

I am just trying to set up the Docs MCP with claude code.

  1. I have pointer Claude to this page: Docs MCP server | Strapi 5 Documentation,
  2. Asked to add the Docs MCP
  3. Claude added the following under .claude/settings.json:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "strapi-docs": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://strapi-docs.mcp.kapa.ai"
    }
  }
}
  • Claude suggested me to restar Claude, which I did.
  • Then I restarted Claude, and wrote: "Do you have knowledge of Strapi docs via MCP? "
  • Claude responded:

No, I don’t have a Strapi-specific MCP server. My available MCP servers are:

  • Microsoft Learn — searches official Microsoft/Azure docs
  • Mermaid Chart — renders diagrams
  • Figma — design tools
  • IDE — code execution/diagnostics

For Strapi docs, I can:

  1. Use WebFetch/WebSearch to look up Strapi documentation online
  2. Read local files if you have Strapi source code or docs in the repo

Would you like me to set up a Strapi docs MCP server, or is there something specific about
Strapi you need help with? I can research it via web search.

I have tried this many times. What am I doing wrong?
