This page is about this documentation. To give your assistant access to your own pages and databases in Flowplan, see MCP: AI assistants.

The docs' MCP server

The docs are an MCP server (Model Context Protocol) at this address:

https://docs.flowplan.org/mcp

It is public, needs no account and no key, and can only read. Your assistant uses it to search the docs itself and read the right pages, instead of answering from memory. It has three tools:

ToolWhat it does
search_docsSearches every page – with the same search as the search box here – and returns pages and sections with address and snippet
get_pageReturns a page as Markdown, by its name (installation) or its address
list_pagesLists every page with title, description and section

Every page exists in English and German. English is the default; if you write in German, the assistant usually picks the German pages by itself.

Claude

In Claude (in the browser and in the desktop app), add the server as a custom connector:

  1. Open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
  2. Enter a name, for example Flowplan docs, and the address https://docs.flowplan.org/mcp.
  3. Save. No sign-in is needed.

Whether and how many custom connectors you can add depends on your plan and, for teams, on your organization's settings.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http flowplan-docs https://docs.flowplan.org/mcp

With --scope user the docs are available in all your projects. /mcp shows the connection and its tools.

Cursor

In .cursor/mcp.json in your project (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for all projects):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flowplan-docs": {
      "url": "https://docs.flowplan.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

In .vscode/mcp.json in your project:

{
  "servers": {
    "flowplan-docs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://docs.flowplan.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}

ChatGPT and others

In ChatGPT, custom MCP connectors are available in developer mode, depending on your plan and workspace settings. Create a new connector there with the address https://docs.flowplan.org/mcp and choose No authentication. Where exactly this lives changes from time to time; if in doubt, check ChatGPT's help.

Other clients only need the address: the server speaks Streamable HTTP and answers with JSON, without a session and without sign-in.

Buttons on every page

Below the title of every page there are four buttons:

  • Ask Claude and Ask ChatGPT open the assistant with a ready-made question: it should read the page as Markdown and then answer your questions about it. The question is part of the link's address – you see it before you send it.
  • Copy as Markdown puts the whole page on the clipboard as Markdown, to paste into any chat.
  • View as Markdown shows the page as Markdown text.

The buttons are ordinary links. The docs load no script from Anthropic or OpenAI for them and do not count who uses them.

llms.txt and Markdown

For language models and your own tools, the docs are also available as text:

AddressContent
/llms.txtIndex of every page with description and Markdown address (llmstxt.org (opens in a new tab))
/llms-full.txtEvery page in one file
/en/installation.mdOne page as Markdown: the page's address with .md at the end

With /de in front, llms.txt, llms-full.txt and the .md addresses are in German.

Privacy

  • The MCP server needs no account, no key and no cookies.
  • Search queries are answered, not stored or logged.
  • A per-minute limit prevents abuse. For it, the server counts requests under a hash of the IP address that changes every day and is only kept in memory; the IP address itself is not stored.
  • What you ask your assistant goes to its provider, under that provider's privacy terms.
Note

The server returns only what is written here. If your assistant tells you something you cannot find on these pages, ask for the source – the tools return the address of every result.
