Moxie Docs — MCP & Agent Tools

The Moxie Docs Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, the agent skills Moxie installs into your repository, and the moxie-docs CLI that wires it all up — npx moxie-docs setup.

This repo is also the open-source home of the moxie-docs npm package: a setup CLI plus the MCP interface (tool catalog, prompts, server metadata, and skill renderers) you can import. The hosted server, indexing pipeline, and your generated docs stay in the private Moxie service.

Moxie Docs indexes a connected GitHub repository and keeps its documentation alive — generating docs, discovering conventions, tracking documentation gaps and drift, and opening pull requests that keep docs in sync with code. The MCP server exposes that living context to coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, and any MCP-capable client) so they ground their work in how your repository actually does things — and keep the docs current as they change code.

Quick start

The fastest path — from your repository's directory:

npx moxie-docs setup

This signs you in (OAuth in your browser), writes the MCP config for your editor, installs the moxie-docs skill + AGENTS.md guidance, and verifies the connection. After that, your agent reads live context with moxie.get_ai_context before editing and proposes doc updates that land in the same PR.

Prefer to do it by hand? Connect a repository at https://moxiedocs.com, then add the server to your agent with a config block.

---

CLI

The moxie-docs CLI (Node ≥ 18, zero runtime dependencies) sets up and manages the connection. Run it with npx moxie-docs <command> or install it globally (npm i -g moxie-docs).

Command	What it does
moxie-docs setup	End-to-end: sign in, configure your MCP client, install the skill + AGENTS.md block, and smoke-test.
moxie-docs login	Sign in via the browser (OAuth 2.1 + PKCE) and store credentials in ~/.moxie-docs/.
moxie-docs status	Show your scope, connected repositories, and available tool count.
moxie-docs config <client>	Write the moxie-docs server entry into a client config (claude-code, cursor, or vscode).
moxie-docs install-skill	Install the moxie-docs skill and AGENTS.md guidance into the current repo.
moxie-docs logout	Remove stored credentials.

Useful flags: --client <name>, --token <dashboard-token>, --repo owner/name, --no-browser, --yes.

How authentication is written. By default setup/config write a URL-only server entry and let your editor perform its own OAuth sign-in on first use — so nothing in your committed config expires. The CLI's own browser sign-in (used for status and the setup smoke-test) stores a short-lived token plus a refresh token under ~/.moxie-docs/ (file mode 0600); it is never written into a client config. If you'd rather pin a static Authorization header, pass a long-lived dashboard token with --token and the CLI writes that instead. The CLI never logs token values, and it refuses to overwrite a client config it can't safely parse rather than discarding your other MCP servers.

The MCP server

Connection

Transport	Streamable HTTP MCP
Endpoint	https://moxiedocs.com/api/mcp
Protocol version	2025-06-18
Repository selection	Tools accept an optional repository argument (owner/name, e.g. acme/app). It is required only when a token serves multiple repositories and no single default applies. Matching is case-insensitive.

All write tools are proposals — Moxie returns the file path and content for you (the agent) to write into your own branch. Moxie never edits your repository directly through MCP, and never merges. Reads return compact, citation-backed context rather than raw code dumps.

Authentication

Bearer token (available today). Create a token in the dashboard and send it as a header:

Authorization: Bearer <MOXIE_TOKEN>

Moxie stores only the token hash (plus an encrypted copy so you can reveal it), a prefix, scope, and a last-used timestamp. You can reveal, rotate, or revoke tokens from the dashboard at any time.

OAuth 2.1 sign-in (for clients that support it). MCP clients that implement the OAuth authorization flow can connect by signing in through the browser instead of pasting a token — the client discovers the server's OAuth metadata, registers itself dynamically (RFC 7591), and obtains a token via the authorization-code + PKCE flow. Discovery documents:

• Protected resource metadata: https://moxiedocs.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource
• Authorization server metadata: https://moxiedocs.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server

Both authentication paths resolve to the same token model, so either works with the same tools. Connected applications can be reviewed and revoked from the dashboard.

Client configuration

Most agents accept a remote MCP server with a URL and headers. Replace <MOXIE_TOKEN> with a token from the dashboard.

Claude Code — .mcp.json (or claude mcp add):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "moxie-docs": {
      "url": "https://moxiedocs.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <MOXIE_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor — .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "moxie-docs": {
      "url": "https://moxiedocs.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <MOXIE_TOKEN>" }
    }
  }
}

VS Code — .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "moxie-docs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://moxiedocs.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <MOXIE_TOKEN>" }
    }
  }
}

Keep tokens out of source control. Reference an environment variable where your client supports it, or paste the token only into local, untracked config.

Tools

All tools are read-only except the two propose_* tools, which return a proposal for the agent to apply in its own branch.

Tool	Purpose
moxie.get_ai_context	Compact pre-edit briefing: repo status, verified commands, top conventions, open gaps, team notes. Read this first.
moxie.get_doc_impact	Given the paths you're about to change (and any you're deleting), returns the conventions, gaps, and existing docs whose evidence overlaps them — and flags net-new/undocumented surfaces.
moxie.get_conventions	Discovered coding conventions, grouped by category, with confidence scores, agent guidance, and source-file citations.
moxie.search_docs	Semantic + keyword search over generated docs, conventions, gaps, and AI context.
moxie.get_doc_gaps	Unresolved documentation gaps with severity and the paths they concern.
moxie.get_documentation_opportunities	Recommended doc work: missing docs, drift repairs, and PR templates.
moxie.get_documentation_patterns	How the repository organizes and maintains its docs (where new docs belong).
moxie.list_docs	Paginated, section-grouped table of contents of every generated doc.
moxie.propose_doc_update	Add or update a doc as part of your current change; returns the target path + Markdown to write into your branch.
moxie.propose_doc_removal	Remove a Moxie-tracked doc your change makes obsolete; returns the path to delete in your branch.

Prompts

The server also exposes MCP prompts that script the common workflows:

Prompt	Purpose
document-this-change	Runs the doc-impact check on your changed paths and walks you through proposing the doc updates so they land in the same PR.
fix-stale-docs	Finds the repository's open documentation gaps and drift opportunities and repairs them through Moxie.

Skills

Agent Skills are small, triggered instruction files that teach an agent when and how to use a capability. Moxie publishes one skill, moxie-docs, that wires an agent into the edit-then-document workflow.

The moxie-docs skill

The canonical skill lives in this repo at skills/moxie-docs/SKILL.md and is also served from the website (with a published SHA-256 digest) at:

https://moxiedocs.com/.well-known/agent-skills/moxie-docs/SKILL.md

It tells an agent to read live context before editing (get_ai_context, get_doc_impact), follow the repository's real conventions and verified commands, and propose doc updates/removals that ship in the same PR as the code change — never inventing filler docs.

What Moxie installs into your repository

When Moxie connects a repository it opens one "Add Moxie agent guidance" PR that adds three self-healing, deterministic files (regenerated only when they drift or the repo is renamed — never churning on every index):

File	Purpose
AGENTS.md	A short, always-on pointer block (between <!-- moxie-docs:start --> / <!-- moxie-docs:end --> markers) telling any agent to use the MCP server and the moxie-docs skill. Human-added content outside the markers is preserved. See templates/AGENTS.md.
.claude/skills/moxie-docs/SKILL.md	The repo-specific moxie-docs skill for Claude Code.
.agents/skills/moxie-docs/SKILL.md	The same skill for .agents-aware clients.

The installed skill is the repo-specific variant of skills/moxie-docs/SKILL.md: identical workflow, with your owner/name baked in so multi-repo tokens target the right repository. Everything Moxie writes is deterministic and contains no volatile data — live conventions and commands always come from the MCP server, not the committed file.

Use as a library

The package also exports the open-source MCP interface — the backend-independent contract — so you can build tooling against Moxie without depending on the private server. It carries no secrets and no server logic.

import {
  moxieMcpTools,            // the tool catalog (names, descriptions, input schemas, annotations)
  moxieMcpPrompts,          // the document-this-change / fix-stale-docs prompt descriptors
  moxieMcpServerInfo,       // { name, version }
  moxieMcpProtocolVersion,  // "2025-06-18"
  moxieMcpCapabilities,
  renderSkillMarkdown,      // ({ repository }) => the moxie-docs SKILL.md for a repo
  renderAgentsGuidanceBlock,// ({ repository }) => the AGENTS.md guidance block
  moxieDocsSkillMarkdown,   // the canonical published skill, as a string
  MOXIE_MCP_ENDPOINT,       // "https://moxiedocs.com/api/mcp"
  MOXIE_SITE_URL,
} from "moxie-docs";

What it does not include: the tool handlers, the indexing/doc-generation pipeline, AI/vector-search, the database layer, or token storage — those remain in the hosted Moxie service.

Discovery endpoints

Moxie publishes a small machine-discoverable surface so agents and crawlers can find the server:

Endpoint	What it serves
/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json	MCP server card: serverInfo, protocol version, transport, capabilities.
/.well-known/api-catalog	RFC 9727 catalog linking to the server card and human docs.
/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json	Agent Skills discovery index (skills + SHA-256 digests).
/.well-known/agent-skills/moxie-docs/SKILL.md	The published moxie-docs skill.
/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource	OAuth protected-resource metadata (RFC 9728).
/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server	OAuth authorization-server metadata (RFC 8414).
