MCP Server

Canton Network docs expose a public Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, so an AI agent can search and read this documentation directly instead of relying on training data or a generic web search. URL: https://docs.canton.network/mcp Transport: HTTP. Authentication: none — the server is public and advertised through https://docs.canton.network/.well-known/mcp.json.

Tools

The server exposes three tools to a connected MCP client:

Tool	Name	Purpose
Search	`search_canton_network_docs`	Searches across the docs and returns relevant snippets with titles and links
Query docs filesystem	`query_docs_filesystem_canton_network_docs`	Reads and navigates the docs as a virtual filesystem using shell-style commands, including batch reads across multiple pages in one call
Submit feedback	`submit_feedback`	Reports a documentation issue back to the docs team when an agent finds a page that’s wrong

Use the exact names when setting tool permissions in your client.

Connecting a client

Claude Desktop

Open Claude settings → Connectors
Click Add custom connector
Enter a name and https://docs.canton.network/mcp as the URL
Click Add
In a chat, use the attachments button to select the connector

Cursor

Open the command palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P)
Search Open MCP settings → Add custom MCP
Add to mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "canton-docs": {
      "url": "https://docs.canton.network/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Any other MCP-compatible client (Goose, ChatGPT, and others) can connect the same way, pointing at the same URL.

Every page also exposes an MCP option in its contextual menu (next to Copy, Claude, ChatGPT), which copies a ready-to-use connection snippet for that page’s client.

Other agent-facing surfaces

Besides the MCP server, agents reach these docs through:

/llms.txt — a navigable index of the documentation, with large sections split into /_llms/*.txt sub-indexes
Per-page Markdown, at any page’s URL with .md appended
/skill.md — a project skill file summarizing Canton Network for coding agents
