Kanzi Documentation MCP server¶

The Kanzi Documentation MCP server connects your AI assistant to the Kanzi documentation sources. This allows your AI assistant to search and retrieve information from the Kanzi documentation to answer your questions about Kanzi concepts, features, workflows, and best practices.

The Kanzi Documentation MCP server is available at https://docs.mcp.kanzi.com/mcp.

Tip

You can set up the Kanzi Documentation MCP server in Claude Desktop and VS Code from two places on the Documentation website: from the AI assistant button next to any topic title, or from the Get Kanzi guidance in your IDE pill inside Ask Kanzi.
