The MCP Server allows any supported AI Clients to retrieve pages from your documentation using semantic search.

Add a custom mcp server with the name of your product, so that Claude AI can use it when looking for info about it.

in claude_desktop_config.json (Claude -> Settings -> Developer -> Edit Config)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "<name_of_your_documentation_no_spaces>": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@ragrabbit/mcp", "http://<RagRabbit install>/", "<name of your documentation>"]
    }
  }
}

Go to Cursor -> Settings -> Cursor Settings -> MCP

And add a new MCP of type command with the command:

npx @ragrabbit/mcp", "http://<RagRabbit install>/", "<name of your documentation>"

Arguments:

• ragrabbit-url: (Required) The base URL of your RagRabbit instance, eg https://my-ragrabbit.vercel.com/
• name: (Required) Custom name for the documentation search service (defaults to "RagRabbit") so that AI will know to use it when looking for info

You can configure the chat button by adding the following parameters to the widget.js script tag:

<script src="https://ragrabbit.com/widget.js?buttonText=Ask%20AI"></script>

You can configure the search widget by adding the following parameters and use the mountSearch call:

<div id="search-container"></div>
<script>
  window.mountSearch("search-container", { searchPlaceholder: "Search documentation..." });
</script>

Create a component to replace the Search Dialog:

pnpm add @ragrabbit/search-react

"use client";
import type { SharedProps } from "fumadocs-ui/components/dialog/search";
import { RagRabbitModal } from "@ragrabbit/search-react";

export default function SearchDialog({ open, onOpenChange }: SharedProps) {
  return <RagRabbitModal
    domain="http://localhost:3000/"
    open={open}
    onOpenChange={onOpenChange}
    />;
}

Then set it in the layout.tsx:

<RootProvider
  search={{
    SearchDialog,
  }}
>
  ...
</RootProvider>

Optionally add the Floating Chat button:

"use client";
import { RagRabbitChatButton } from "@ragrabbit/search-react";

export default function ChatButton() {
  return <RagRabbitChatButton domain="http://localhost:3000/" />;
}

And add it to the layout.tsx:

<body className="flex flex-col min-h-screen">
  <ChatButton />
  ...
