Use with AI tools

Connect Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, or VS Code to Tailrace docs via MCP, llms.txt, or raw markdown URLs.

Tailrace docs are published for both humans and agents. You can connect an AI tool three ways - pick one.

1. Docs MCP server (recommended)

The published site exposes a read-only Model Context Protocol server at:

https://tailrace.dev/mcp

It offers retrieval tools only (search_docs, get_page, list_sections) - no generation, no summarization. Opening that URL in a browser may return an error; use it from an MCP client.

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tailrace-docs": {
      "url": "https://tailrace.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http tailrace-docs https://tailrace.dev/mcp

Codex

codex mcp add tailrace-docs https://tailrace.dev/mcp

Or in config.toml:

[mcp_servers.tailrace-docs]
url = "https://tailrace.dev/mcp"

VS Code (Copilot)

{
  "servers": {
    "tailrace-docs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://tailrace.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude (web / Desktop)

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste https://tailrace.dev/mcp.

Try it

After connecting, ask:

Using the tailrace-docs MCP server, how do I block secrets in Claude Code?
Search Tailrace docs for tokenization and summarize the vault rules.
List the tools on tailrace-docs, then fetch the quickstart page.

Every docs page also has Copy MCP URL in the page actions bar.

2. llms.txt (zero install)

Fetch the curated index, then follow absolute .md links:

curl -sL https://tailrace.dev/llms.txt
curl -sL https://tailrace.dev/llms-full.txt

3. Per-page markdown

Append .md to any docs URL:

curl -sL https://tailrace.dev/docs/get-started/quickstart.md

Agents that send Accept: text/markdown also receive markdown for /docs/* HTML paths.
