Dedalus MCP Documentation Server

An MCP server for serving and querying documentation with AI capabilities. Built for the YC Agents Hackathon.

# Install uv package manager (same as Dedalus uses)
brew install uv  # or pip install uv

# Install dependencies
uv sync --no-dev

# Configure API keys for AI features
cp config/.env.example .env.local
# Edit .env.local and add your OpenAI API key

# Test
uv run python tests/test_server.py

# Run
uv run main
