Use this for every Python documentation-related query.
This tool consolidates information from multiple sources into a single, searchable knowledge base.
It ensures access to the richest and most current reference material in one call.
Args:
query: A natural language question (e.g., "How do I define a Deployment?").
library: Python library to search documentation for.
version: Optional Library version (e.g., "4.46.1"). Defaults to detected library version if not specified.
top_k: Optional number of top matching documents to return. Defaults to 10.
Returns:
A list of dictionaries, each containing document path and corresponding content.
Example Usage:
# Search Python docs for Transformers
python_get_documentation(query="what is a transformers mlm token", library="transformers", version="4.46.1")
Notes:
- This tool automatically loads or builds a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) index for the
specified version.
- If an index is not found locally, the tool will fetch and index the documentation before responding.
- You should call this function for any question that needs project documentation context.
2f:T462, Use this tool for any Kubernetes documentation-related query—especially when the user invokes /k8s or asks about kubectl commands, API objects, manifests, controllers, or version-specific features.
This tool connects to a version-aware, trusted documentation index (e.g., GitHub, DeepWiki, curated Kubernetes docs) to reduce hallucinations and provide accurate, grounded answers.
Args: query: A natural language question (e.g., "How do I define a Deployment?") version: (Optional) Kubernetes version (e.g., "v1.28"). Defaults to the detected cluster version. top_k: (Optional) Number of top matching documents to return. Defaults to 10.
Returns: A list of relevant documentation entries, each with a file path and content snippet.
Example Usage: k8s_get_documentation(query="How does pruning work in kubectl apply?", version="v1.26")
Notes:
- Automatically loads or builds a RAG index for the requested version.
- If no index is found, it will fetch and index the docs before responding.
- Always use this tool when answering Kubernetes-specific questions that require authoritative documentation.
FAQ
- What is the GroundDocs MCP server?
- GroundDocs is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server profile on explainx.ai. MCP lets AI hosts (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor) call tools and resources through a standard interface; this page summarizes categories, install hints, and community ratings.
- How do MCP servers relate to agent skills?
- Skills are reusable instruction packages (often SKILL.md); MCP servers expose live capabilities. Teams frequently combine both—skills for workflows, MCP for APIs and data. See explainx.ai/skills and explainx.ai/mcp-servers for parallel directories.
- How are reviews shown for GroundDocs?
- This profile displays 10 aggregated ratings (sample rows for discoverability plus signed-in user reviews). Average score is about 4.5 out of 5—verify behavior in your own environment before production use.
