Connect source

MCPconnect_source

WRITE$0.00003 / call

Features

Connect a repository, a website or a single page as a SOURCE OF TRUTH for this documentation — what list_sources then lists and read_source reads, and what an agent armed with enable_agent watches. A GitHub repository is PROVED readable before anything is stored — publicly, or with a GitHub authorisation this project already holds — so this never leaves behind a source that quietly reads nothing. A private repository nobody has authorised yet comes back as REPO_UNREADABLE with the one thing that fixes it (the owner grants repository access once, in their panel); connect it anyway is not an option this tool offers. note is the owner's own words about why the source is connected and is read as instruction by everything that later reads it — say what it is for ('the API server the reference pages describe'), not what it is.

Input4

Authorizationheaderrequired

Your API key, for the REST call. Sent from your browser straight to the API — never to Docsbook, never stored.

workspace_idstring

Workspace ID (optional when MCP endpoint is auto-scoped). Numeric workspace id — OR the project as the user names it: 'owner/repo', the repo name alone, the site's display name, its docs URL or custom domain. Text is resolved server-side; an ambiguous name returns the candidates instead of guessing, so pass what the user said rather than calling list_workspaces first.

urlstringrequired

The address to connect: 'https://github.com/acme/api', 'https://acme.com', or one page of it.

notestring

What this source is for, in the owner's words — read as instruction by every tool that later reads the source.

labelstring

What to call it in the list. Defaults to the repository or host name.

Output5

sourceobject

{ id, kind, label, url, note, status, is_private, has_authorization }.

verifiedobject

What was checked before storing it.

authorizationstring

null

head_commitobject

hintstring

Use cases

Use it when the docs are about a product whose code or site this project cannot currently read: connecting the repository is what turns 'the docs claim X' into something checkable.

Limitations

REQUIRES a read-write MCP token.
