Apple RAG

About

Apple RAG searches official Apple developer documentation and WWDC video transcripts using hybrid retrieval (keyword and semantic), with relevance ranking of the merged results. The search tool returns ranked excerpts, and the fetch tool returns the full cleaned content of a specific documentation page or video.

It runs as a hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint at https://mcp.apple-rag.com. No sign-in or API key is needed for anonymous use.

[![Apple RAG on mcp.tc](https://mcp.tc/i/apple-rag/badge.svg)](https://mcp.tc/i/apple-rag)

HTML

<a href="https://mcp.tc/i/apple-rag"><img src="https://mcp.tc/i/apple-rag/badge.svg" alt="Apple RAG on mcp.tc" height="20"></a>

It follows the reader’s light or dark mode. Add ?theme=light or ?theme=dark to fix it, or ?style=compact to show the mark without the word.

Website card

HTML

<script src="https://mcp.tc/w/apple-rag.js" async></script>

The card appears where the tag is. Add data-theme="dark" or data-size="compact" to the tag to change it. The file holds everything it needs, so it makes no other requests and sets no cookies.

iframe

HTML

<iframe src="https://mcp.tc/embed/apple-rag" title="Apple RAG on mcp.tc" width="420" height="200" loading="lazy" allow="clipboard-write" style="border:0;border-radius:8px;max-width:100%"></iframe>

Use it on pages that don’t allow scripts. Add ?theme=light or ?theme=dark to the address to fix the colors.

JSON

The listing as data for your own pages and tools: name, tagline, the server’s own URL, tools and the “Add to” links. Any site can read it (CORS is open).

What each field means

AI prompt

Paste this into an AI coding assistant, such as Claude Code or Cursor, and it adds the Apple RAG card to your site.

Markdown

Add the mcp.tc card for Apple RAG, an MCP server, to my website. It is one static script: no build step, no package to install, no cookies.

Put this tag where the card should appear. The card renders right before it:

```html
<script src="https://mcp.tc/w/apple-rag.js" async></script>
```

To show the card somewhere else, put this placeholder there and load the same script once, for example before `</body>`. Keep the link inside: visitors without JavaScript see it.

```html
<div data-mcptc="apple-rag"><a href="https://mcp.tc/i/apple-rag">Apple RAG on mcp.tc</a></div>
```

Options:
- `data-theme="light"` or `"dark"` on the tag or the placeholder fixes the colors. Without it, the card follows the visitor’s light or dark mode.
- `data-size="compact"` gives a smaller card without the tagline.
- The CSS variable `--mcptc-max-width` on the placeholder or a parent sets the width (default `520px`).
- `?lang=` on the script URL sets the card’s language: `en`, `it`, `fr`, `de` or `es`.

If the site has a Content Security Policy, allow `script-src https://mcp.tc` and `img-src data:` (the icon is inline).

For a README or other Markdown docs, use the badge instead:

```markdown
