Starlightdocs

Connect your agent to Starlight

Add the public Starlight MCP endpoint to Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, or Grok, then run your first tool call.

LiveChecked against starlightintelligence.ai/app/mcp/, docs-platform/app/api/mcp/route.ts, docs-platform/lib/starlight-mcp-catalog.ts
MCP endpoint/api/mcp

With one command your coding agent can list Starlight packages, plan an install, search Atlas, and query verified documentation. Both endpoints are public and read-only: they need no account and cannot change anything outside their own reply.

Before you begin

  • One of the coding agents below, installed and signed in.
  • Network access to starlightintelligence.ai and docs.starlightintelligence.ai.

Add the Starlight MCP endpoint

Pick your agent below. Each command registers a server called starlight that speaks Streamable HTTP against https://starlightintelligence.ai/mcp.

claude mcp add --transport http starlight https://starlightintelligence.ai/mcp

Adds the server for the current project. Use --scope user to make it available everywhere, or --scope project to share it through .mcp.json. Project-scoped servers wait for your approval on next launch.

What was tested: On 20 October 2026 these commands were executed against the live endpoint in clean configuration folders: Gemini CLI 0.60.0 reported Connected, Codex 0.163.0 listed the server as enabled, and Claude Code 2.1.303 added it and held project scope for approval as documented. The Grok command was verified against grok mcp add --help in Grok 1.0.62.

Add the Docs MCP endpoint (/api/mcp)

To give your agent direct search and citation tools (list_docs, search_docs, get_doc) across all five brands on this documentation platform:

claude mcp add --transport http starlight-docs https://docs.starlightintelligence.ai/api/mcp

Exposes list_docs, search_docs, and get_doc with frontmatter provenance citations.

Try your first tool call

Start your agent and ask it a question that uses the tools:

List the Starlight department packages, then compile an install plan for growth-studio on Codex.

You will see it call list_department_packages and compile_install_plan. Install plans exist for codex, claude, grok, openclaw, hermes, antigravity, mcp, and a2a.

No agent handy? Use curl

curl https://starlightintelligence.ai/mcp \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -H "accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

Or query this documentation server directly:

curl https://docs.starlightintelligence.ai/api/mcp \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"search_docs","arguments":{"query":"mcp","brand":"starlight"}}}'

Operational limits

  • POST executes JSON-RPC tool calls; GET /api/mcp on the docs server returns human-readable discovery metadata.
  • Request bodies up to 64 KiB, rate-limited to 60 requests per minute per address.
  • Supports protocol revision 2026-07-28 as well as legacy revisions (2025-11-25, 2025-06-18, 2025-03-26). See the MCP tools reference for full schemas.
