Find and read BookStack docs inside Claude Desktop

Your agent uses `search` to scan your entire wiki so you stop leaving your chat to hunt down internal documentation. You can ask about setup guides or team policies without leaving your workspace. The MCP server fetches the raw markdown or HTML, letting you get straight to work.

Draft new wiki pages directly from your conversations

Running `create_page` lets your agent write down feature drafts the moment you finish brainstorming. Managing hierarchy is simple because this MCP tool knows where everything belongs. You won't have to manually click through the BookStack UI just to file a new draft.

Organize BookStack files with this Claude Desktop MCP Server

Calling `update_shelf` to categorize books helps you clean up messy wikis without manual clicking. If a page gets misplaced, the agent can clean up using `delete_page` or track changes via `list_audit_log`. You get complete control over your documentation without the click-fatigue.
