MCP Server
Quick Reference
A55 exposes its documentation through a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. This lets AI assistants, IDE extensions, and automation tools query current API schemas, guides, and diagrams programmatically instead of relying on stale training data.
Why MCP
| Use case | Benefit |
|---|---|
| AI grounding | Get current docs instead of stale training data |
| IDE integration | Reference A55 docs directly in your editor |
| Tooling | Structured access for CI/CD and automation scripts |
| Search | Search across API reference pages, guides, and diagram summaries |
| API schemas | Inspect endpoint methods, paths, response codes, and request schemas from OpenAPI |
| Diagrams | Retrieve Mermaid diagrams with compact text summaries and source markup |
Endpoint
https://docs.a55.tech/mcp
Copy the URL above and paste it into your MCP client configuration. No API key is required for documentation access.
The endpoint uses MCP Streamable HTTP JSON-RPC over POST. A GET request returns a small health payload for diagnostics.
What you can use it for
- Ground AI coding assistant answers in current A55 documentation
- Pull reference snippets for error codes, status definitions, and API fields
- Build internal tooling that validates integration parameters against docs
- Search documentation semantically from terminal or scripts
Configure in AI tools
- Cursor IDE
- Claude Desktop
