## Description
Researched knowledge for AI agents. Canonical answers from official sources.

## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **ask_question** — Expert-quality answers with sources
- **preflight_check** — See what verified knowledge exists for your task
- **search_questions** — Browse Q&As by topic
- **get_stats** — Coverage metrics
- **consult_taxonomy** — Navigate the knowledge taxonomy
- **check_prerequisites** — Foundational topics to understand first
- **get_lockfile_status** — Check whether strict/pinned-answer mode is active

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Install path detected from listing signals. Uses `npx` (confidence: high):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "agentskb": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","mcp-remote","https://mcp.agentskb.com/mcp-kb"]
  }
}
```

## Documentation & README

# AgentsKB MCP Server

**Give Your AI Expert-Level Knowledge**

Researched answers to any problem. Your AI, upgraded.

> **About this repository:** AgentsKB is a **hosted** MCP server — there is no server
> to build or run locally, and this repository contains no source code. It exists to
> document the endpoint and to collect bug reports. Point your MCP client at the URL
> below and you are done.

## Installation

The server is hosted at `https://mcp.agentskb.com/mcp-kb` and speaks MCP over
streamable HTTP. **No API key and no signup are required.**

### Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http agentskb https://mcp.agentskb.com/mcp-kb
```

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project instead of just the
current one. Verify the connection with:

```bash
claude mcp list
```

### Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, and other MCP clients

Add this to your client's MCP configuration file:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentskb": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.agentskb.com/mcp-kb"
    }
  }
}
```

Config file locations:

| Client | File |
|--------|------|
| Claude Code (per-project) | `.mcp.json` in the project root |
| Claude Code (global) | `~/.claude.json` |
| Claude Desktop | `claude_desktop_config.json` |
| Cursor (global) | `~/.cursor/mcp.json` |
| Cursor (per-project) | `.cursor/mcp.json` in the project root |

Cursor does not use the `type` field — for Cursor, list `url` on its own.

Some older clients do not support remote HTTP servers and only launch local
processes. If yours is one of them, bridge to the endpoint with
[`mcp-remote`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mcp-remote):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentskb": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.agentskb.com/mcp-kb"]
    }
  }
}
```

### REST API (no MCP client)

The knowledge base is also reachable over plain HTTP, with no key:

```bash
curl -X POST https://agentskb-api.agentskb.com/api/free/ask \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"question":"What is a PostgreSQL index scan?"}'
```

## What makes us different

Your AI searches. We research. That's the difference.

- **Dedicated research per question** - not a side task while debugging
- **Official sources only** - docs, specs, RFCs
- **Would rather not answer than guess wrong**

## Tools

| Tool | Arguments | Description |
|------|-----------|-------------|
| `ask_question` | `question`\*, `domain`, `limit` | Expert-quality answers with sources |
| `preflight_check` | `task`\*, `depth` | See what verified knowledge exists for your task |
| `search_questions` | `query`\*, `domain`, `limit` | Browse Q&As by topic |
| `get_stats` | — | Coverage metrics |
| `consult_taxonomy` | `path`, `depth` | Navigate the knowledge taxonomy |
| `check_prerequisites` | `domain`\* | Foundational topics to understand first |
| `get_lockfile_status` | — | Check whether strict/pinned-answer mode is active |

\* required. `question` and `query` expect a full natural-language question —
bare keywords such as `mysql` are rejected.

The server also exposes two resources: `agentskb://context/current` (detected
project stack) and `agentskb://context/prompt` (a system-prompt fragment for
that stack).

## Coverage

55,000+ Q&As across 287 domains. The deepest coverage today is:

- **Databases and ORMs:** PostgreSQL, Prisma, Drizzle
- **Frameworks:** Next.js, NextAuth, Vue
- **Infrastructure and tooling:** Docker, Bash, nginx, Git

Call `get_stats` for live counts, or `consult_taxonomy` to browse the full
domain list.

Coverage is uneven and still growing. If you ask about a topic that is not yet
covered, the server queues it for research and replies
`Topic '<name>' research queued` instead of returning an answer — ask again
later.

- Website: <https://agentskb.com>
- `@agentskb/cli` on npm: <https://www.npmjs.com/package/@agentskb/cli> — a
  **separate** tool for pinning and verifying answers in a repo (`init`,
  `check`, `lock`, `request`, `update`, `verify`). It does not implement an MCP
  server and is not needed to use the endpoint above.
