Python Docs MCP Server Tools (6)
search_docs
Search 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_docs
Retrieve a documentation page or specific section. Provide anchor for
section-only retrieval (much cheaper). Pagination via start_index.
lookup_package_docs
Look 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_versions
List Python documentation versions available in this index.
detect_python_version
Detect 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_versions
Diff 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.
