GenLayer Documentation MCP Server

A standardized, shareable Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that packages and exposes the GenLayer documentation (genlayer-docs (3).txt) to any AI assistant (including Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini, and others).

By packaging this as a Python project with a pyproject.toml and utilizing the official mcp SDK, anyone can run it instantly with zero manual file path or dependency setup.

Available Tools

Once registered, the server exposes the following tools:

1. search_docs(query: string, top_k: int = 5): Search the GenLayer documentation for relevant sections matching a query. Returns top matching sections along with their hierarchical title breadcrumbs (e.g., What is GenLayer > Core Technology > On-Chain AI Processing) and starting line numbers.

2. get_section(title: string): Retrieve the full content of a specific documentation section matching the specified heading title.

3. list_sections(): List all headings and subheadings present in the GenLayer documentation along with their starting line numbers.

Universal Running & Setup Options

You can run this server using standard Python tools. We recommend using uv (a fast Python package manager) for a zero-install experience, or standard pip/pipx.

Option A: Running Locally (For Development)

If you have cloned or downloaded this directory locally to c:\Users\MueAb\Desktop\Genlayer mcp:

1. Claude Desktop Setup

Open your Claude configuration file (on Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json) and add the server inside the mcpServers block:

• Using uvx (Easiest, zero-install):

  {
    "mcpServers": {
      "genlayer-docs": {
        "command": "uvx",
        "args": [
          "--from",
          "c:\\Users\\MueAb\\Desktop\\Genlayer mcp",
          "genlayer-docs-mcp"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
  

• Using installed python package: If you have installed the package via pip install -e . (or pip install .):

  {
    "mcpServers": {
      "genlayer-docs": {
        "command": "python",
        "args": [
          "-m",
          "genlayer_docs_mcp.server"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
  

2. Cursor IDE / Windsurf Setup

Register the server in your editor's MCP settings:

• Type: command
• Command: uvx --from "c:\Users\MueAb\Desktop\Genlayer mcp" genlayer-docs-mcp

---

Option B: Publishing & Distributing to PyPI (For Everyone)

If you publish this package to PyPI (e.g., under the name genlayer-docs-mcp), anyone in the world can use it on any AI client instantly with zero local files!

1. Claude Desktop Setup

Any user can simply add this to their claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "genlayer-docs": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["genlayer-docs-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

2. Cursor IDE / Windsurf Setup

• Type: command
• Command: uvx genlayer-docs-mcp

---

Option C: Installation via pipx or pip

Users who prefer not to use uvx can install the server globally using pipx:

# Install globally from PyPI
pipx install genlayer-docs-mcp

# Or install globally from local directory
pipx install c:\Users\MueAb\Desktop\Genlayer mcp

Then configure the command in any AI client as:

• Command: genlayer-docs-mcp (no arguments required)
