How we built an API doc MCP server, using our own MCP platform
Blog post from Bump
Bump.sh launched its MCP Platform to simplify creating production-ready MCP servers for API documentation without needing code or infrastructure maintenance. The platform's integration with AI tools aims to enhance API discovery by allowing users to query documentation directly through an MCP server, using tools like list_pages, search, and get_pages to navigate and understand API capabilities efficiently. The approach addresses issues related to AI agent hallucinations and token inefficiency by ensuring documentation is accessible and relevant. The platform's flexibility allows for scoping searches to specific APIs, improving relevance and usability. By creating a new Portal API and using Cloudflare to manage requests, Bump.sh ensures seamless integration and accessibility for developers. The platform supports various AI tools, facilitating easy MCP server configuration and setup. This initiative underscores the importance of designing APIs with AI tools in mind and demonstrates the value of using one's platform to identify and address real-world challenges. Future plans include extending support to private documentation portals, enhancing accessibility for developers working with AI tools.
