- Page & Content Discovery — Extracts the full pages hierarchy from any space and reads entire document pages to retrieve technical information flawlessly
- Semantic & Keyword Search — Execute cross-page search operations inside your GitBook namespaces to find matching snippets and relevant content using natural language
- Collection Management — List collections that group multiple spaces, identifying how different product documentations are organized across your organizations securely
- Space Metadata Auditing — Fetch detailed metadata about specific spaces to verify visibility, access rules, and structural configurations synchronously
- User Profile Oversight — Extract authenticated profile metadata including name and email to verify permission limits and account contexts natively

Frequently asked questions
Can my agent search for technical content across all my GitBook spaces?
Yes. Use the 'search_content' tool. Provide the 'space_id' and your query. The agent will execute cross-page search operations within that GitBook namespace, returning matching snippets and relevant content natively.
How do I retrieve the full content of a specific documentation page via chat?
Use the 'get_page' tool. You will need the 'space_id' and the 'page_id'. Your agent will read the full document content from GitBook, allowing you to summarize, analyze, or verify the information flawlessly.
Can I see how my product documentations are grouped through the agent?
Absolutely. Use the 'list_collections' tool with your Organization ID. Your agent will retrieve the collections that group multiple spaces, helping you understand your documentation hierarchy natively.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add --transport http "" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
