Setup snippets

Connect an MCP client using the reader or private author setup snippets from project settings.

Open Settings → MCP for setup snippets that contain your project's connection details. Copy the reader URL for public access or the private Author MCP URL for editing.

Reader connection

A generic JSON configuration uses the public project URL:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-docs": {
      "url": "https://docsio.co/api/mcp/YOUR_PROJECT_ID"
    }
  }
}

The exact configuration filename and object format depend on the client. Settings includes snippets for supported clients; use the matching one rather than putting this JSON into every tool unchanged.

Author connection

Use the owner-created token URL shown in the Author MCP section:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-docs-author": {
      "url": "https://docsio.co/api/mcp/author/YOUR_TOKEN"
    }
  }
}

The token in this URL authenticates the connection. Store it privately and revoke it from Docsio if it is exposed.

Verifying

Reload or reconnect the client as needed. Ask it to list the available docs tools and read a known page. Reader tools should return published content. Author tools should access only the intended project.

If the connection fails, check the copied URL, site access, Reader MCP setting or token status, and the client's MCP connection logs.

Multiple Docsio projects

Give each connection a distinct name so your assistant can tell the projects apart. Keep reader and author connections clearly labeled, especially if both are registered in the same client.
