To effectively generate documentation for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, MCP DocGen follows the official MCP specification. This page provides essential information about the MCP specification and how it relates to documentation generation.
The Model Context Protocol is defined by a comprehensive specification that outlines the protocol's architecture, message formats, and implementation requirements.
For the complete, authoritative specification, visit the official Model Context Protocol documentation:
Understanding the client-server architecture and communication patterns
JSON-RPC 2.0 message formats, requests, and responses
How MCP servers expose data and content to clients
Function calling and tool execution within MCP
Structured templates for LLM interactions
Communication layers: stdio, HTTP, WebSocket
MCP DocGen analyzes your MCP server implementation against the official specification to generate comprehensive documentation. Here's what it looks for:
Identifies which MCP capabilities your server implements (resources, tools, prompts)
Documents all request handlers and their expected parameters
Validates your implementation against MCP's TypeScript schema
Documents supported transport mechanisms and connection details
The specification includes several reference implementations that MCP DocGen can document:
The MCP specification is actively developed. Stay informed about updates:
Now that you understand the MCP specification, you're ready to use MCP DocGen to create beautiful documentation for your MCP server implementation.
