List sources

MCPlist_sources

READ$0.00003 / call

Features

List the sources this documentation is connected to — the repositories and websites its owner registered as its sources of truth, plus the repository the site is built from. Returns { sources: [{ id, kind, label, url, note, status, origin }] }; note is the owner's own words about why that source is connected — treat it as instruction. Read one with read_source. Every other row's origin is source and its id is a number. An empty list means nothing is connected: say so rather than inventing a repository or a domain. private: true on a row means GitHub will not serve that repository without credentials. It is a READING fact — attach an authorisation, expect no anonymous link to it to work — and it says nothing about whether the published site is public: whether anyone outside can read the DOCS is visibility on the workspace, and a private repository serving a fully indexed public site is an ordinary Docsbook setup.

Input1

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.

Output2

sourcesobject[]

{ id, kind, label, url, note, status, last_read_at, origin }. origin is workspace_repo or site_source when id is null, source otherwise.

hintstring

Use cases

Call this BEFORE writing or updating documentation and before judging whether something documented is still true: a connected source is a fact you can go and read, and reading beats recalling.

Limitations

id is a string, not a number, for two kinds of row that were never 'connected' by hand — it equals origin: workspace_repo is the repository the docs are built from (read it with read_source source_id: "workspace_repo"; arm a commit trigger on it with enable_agent's watch_source_id: "workspace_repo", no need to connect_source it first); site_source is the legacy single URL set in Branding (readable, but not a repository — it cannot be a commit trigger).

Example input

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "list_sources",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}

Example output

{
  "sources": [],
  "hint": "<hint>"
}
