listing.about

Gives an assistant access to the official Qt documentation. It covers the Qt framework (Qt 6.12, 6.11, 6.8 LTS and Qt 5.15) and product docs for Qt Creator, Qt Design Studio, Qt for MCUs, Boot to Qt, Squish and Coco. Use it to check signals, slots, properties, default values and since-version details against the real source.

The server is hosted by The Qt Company at a streamable HTTP endpoint. No sign-in or API key is needed. A version parameter selects a specific Qt release; the latest is the default.

listing.can

  • Search Qt 5 and Qt 6 documentation
  • Read the full content of a documentation page
  • Target a specific Qt version such as 6.8 LTS or 5.15
  • Look up Qt Creator, Design Studio, Qt for MCUs, Squish and Coco docs
  • Verify signals, slots, properties and defaults before answering

listing.tools 2

  • qt_documentation_search

    Search Qt framework and product docs by query, with optional version, module, product and filter.

  • qt_documentation_read

    Read the full content of a Qt documentation page using the filename from search results.

listing.prov.live_on

listing.prompts

  • Does QtGrpc have a signal for stream completion in Qt 6.11? Check the docs.

  • Find the default value of QQuickItem::clip in Qt 6.8 LTS.

  • Search the Qt Creator docs for how to set up a CMake kit.

  • Read the Qt MQTT QMqttClient page and summarize its public slots.

Claude Code

  1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:
claude mcp add --transport http qt-docs https://qt-docs-mcp.qt.io/mcp
  1. Start Claude Code and type /mcp. qt-docs should show as connected.

Add --scope user to make it available in every project, not just this one.

Claude Desktop

  1. Open Settings → Connectors and click Add custom connector.
  2. Name it Qt Documentation and paste this URL:
https://qt-docs-mcp.qt.io/mcp
  1. Click Add. Its tools appear in the chat's tools menu.

Claude Desktop's JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

claude.ai

  1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:
  1. Check that the URL reads https://qt-docs-mcp.qt.io/mcp and click Add.
  2. Turn it on in a chat from the tools menu.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under Organization settings → Connectors.

ChatGPT

  1. On chatgpt.com, open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode.
  2. Go to chatgpt.com/plugins and click + to create an app for a remote MCP server.
  3. Paste https://qt-docs-mcp.qt.io/mcp as the server URL and choose No authentication.

Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.

Cursor

Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):

mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qt-docs": {
      "url": "https://qt-docs-mcp.qt.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Or from a terminal:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"qt-docs","type":"http","url":"https://qt-docs-mcp.qt.io/mcp"}'

Or commit it to the repo in .vscode/mcp.json:

.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "qt-docs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://qt-docs-mcp.qt.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Devin Desktop

  1. Add it to ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (macOS and Linux) or %APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json (Windows):
mcp_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qt-docs": {
      "serverUrl": "https://qt-docs-mcp.qt.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads serverUrl (or url) for remote servers.

Codex

codex mcp add qt-docs --url https://qt-docs-mcp.qt.io/mcp

Or edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:

config.toml
[mcp_servers.qt-docs]
url = "https://qt-docs-mcp.qt.io/mcp"

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add --transport http qt-docs https://qt-docs-mcp.qt.io/mcp

This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.

Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: serverUrl in Devin Desktop, httpUrl in Gemini CLI's settings file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qt-docs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://qt-docs-mcp.qt.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings. Cline needs "type": "streamableHttp", or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with npx -y mcp-remote https://qt-docs-mcp.qt.io/mcp.

listing.faq

Can I paste mcp.tc/i/qt-docs into my MCP client?

No. mcp.tc links are pages, not server addresses. Connect with https://qt-docs-mcp.qt.io/mcp, so your client talks to Qt Documentation directly. The quick link is for sharing: it opens this page, with setup steps for every client.

Does Qt Documentation need an API key or a sign-in?

No. Qt Documentation doesn't ask for an account or key.

Is Qt Documentation a remote or a local server?

Remote. The Qt Company hosts it at https://qt-docs-mcp.qt.io/mcp, and it speaks Streamable HTTP. There's nothing to install.

What can Qt Documentation do?

It has 2 tools: qt_documentation_search and qt_documentation_read. You can search Qt 5 and Qt 6 documentation, read the full content of a documentation page and target a specific Qt version such as 6.8 LTS or 5.15.

Which clients can use it?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, claude.ai, ChatGPT in developer mode, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others. The setup steps cover each one.

Who wrote this page?

mcp.tc's robot read Qt Documentation's own metadata (its MCP handshake, tool list and public pages), and an AI model drafted the text from it. A person reviews anything the checks can't confirm. The text can still be wrong, so if you spot a mistake, use Report this listing on this page.
