Author MCP

Author MCP lets your own AI tools inspect and edit a Docsio project. Unlike Reader MCP, it has private project access and includes publishing tools.

Create a connectionCopy Anchor Link

1. As the project owner, open Settings → MCP → Author MCP.
2. Create a named token for the client you want to connect.
3. Copy the generated setup snippet while the raw token is displayed.
4. Add it to the client and test a read-only request first, such as listing the pages.

The connection URL contains the token:

https://docsio.co/api/mcp/author/YOUR_TOKEN

Treat that whole URL as a secret. Use the snippet from settings rather than adding a different authentication method yourself.

Work on your documentationCopy Anchor Link

Give the connected assistant a specific task and ask it to review the relevant pages first. Inspect the changed files and preview in Docsio before asking it to publish. Client approval behavior varies, so set your instructions explicitly.

Review the installation guide and propose the changes needed for this release. Do not edit or publish yet.

Revoke accessCopy Anchor Link

Create separate tokens for separate tools and revoke any you no longer use. A revoked token loses access. Site entitlement and rate limits still apply to connected clients.

Never include an Author MCP URL in public docs, screenshots or a shared repository.
