Claude Platform Docs

About

Gives an assistant direct access to the official Claude Platform documentation. It can search guides and the API reference, browse the documentation structure, read full pages as markdown, and look up details of individual API endpoints. It covers the Claude API, Claude SDKs and Claude Managed Agents, not Claude Code or the Agent SDK.

The server is hosted at https://platform.claude.com/docs/mcp and uses streamable HTTP. No sign-in or API key is needed.

What you can do

• Search Claude guides and API reference by keyword
• Read full documentation pages as markdown
• Browse the documentation navigation by tab
• Look up parameters, request bodies and responses of API endpoints
• Filter results by SDK language

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/claude-platform-docs.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/claude-platform-docs" title="Claude Platform Docs 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 Claude Platform Docs card to your site.

Markdown

Add the mcp.tc card for Claude Platform Docs, 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/claude-platform-docs.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="claude-platform-docs"><a href="https://mcp.tc/i/claude-platform-docs">Claude Platform Docs 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
[![Claude Platform Docs on mcp.tc](https://mcp.tc/i/claude-platform-docs/badge.svg)](https://mcp.tc/i/claude-platform-docs)

   Server instructions

   Before

   Official docs for the Claude API, Claude SDKs and Claude Managed Agents (not Claude Code or the Agent SDK, which are at code.claude.com). Use before answering or recommending anything, never from memory, when the user mentions Claude or Anthropic, asks about LLM pricing, models or limits, or wants to build an agent or app that uses an LLM with no provider named. Skip only if the user has chosen other providers and none of them is Anthropic. Start with search_docs, then get_doc. Use get_navigation to see what exists.

   • get_navigationdescription, input schema and output schema
     Before

     Get the documentation navigation structure. Returns tabs, groups, and pages organized hierarchically. Useful for browsing available documentation topics.

     After

     Get the documentation navigation: tabs, groups of pages, and pages with their paths. Call it without arguments to see every tab and its groups, then pass `tab` and `group_path` to see the pages of a group. A group marked "(not expanded)" in the markdown, or without pages and groups in the structured result, has pages or subgroups that the result leaves out.

     • New parameters: group_path depth
     • Description of tab
       Before

       Filter to specific tab (e.g., developer-guide, api-reference)

       After

       Start at this tab, by label or slug, including a sub-tab of a dropdown (e.g., messages, api-reference). Without it, the result covers every tab.

     • Description of format
       Before

       Output format (default: markdown)

       After

       Format of the text result (default: markdown). The structured result is always JSON.
