Tools & capabilities
Python Docs MCP Server tools 6
search_docsSearch Python documentation. Use kind='symbol' for API lookups (asyncio.TaskGroup), kind='example' for code samples, kind='auto' otherwise. When version is omitted, searches across all versions. Pass the version from each hit's version field to get_docs for consistent results.get_docsRetrieve a documentation page or specific section. Provide anchor for section-only retrieval (much cheaper). Pagination via start_index.lookup_package_docsLook up package-declared docs/homepage/source URLs via official PyPI metadata. This is not generic web search: it only queries PyPI's JSON API and returns official PyPI metadata plus package-declared project URLs.list_versionsList Python documentation versions available in this index.detect_python_versionDetect the Python version in the user's environment. Returns the detected version, how it was found, and whether it matches an indexed documentation set.compare_versionsDiff a Python stdlib symbol between two indexed versions. Returns change=added|removed|changed|unchanged with optional new_in, changed_in, deprecated_in, signature_delta (advisory), see_also_added/removed, section_diff, and note fields. Both versions must be indexed; otherwise an actionable error names the available versions.
