What is the GitBook MCP Server?
Connect your GitBook account to any AI agent and take full control of your technical documentation, knowledge sharing, and docs-as-code workflows through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Organization & Space Orchestration — List all organizations and spaces mapped to your GitBook profile to retrieve identifiers and browse your documentation hierarchy natively
- 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
- Knowledge Base Navigation — Analyze specific localized variables decoding active documentation routes and extracting structural constraints from your GitBook environment
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your GitBook API Token (found in your GitBook Developer Settings)
3. Start managing your technical docs from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Technical Writers & Engineers — search for existing documentation and verify content structure without opening the GitBook interface
- Product Managers — audit documentation spaces and collections to analyze knowledge distribution using natural language
- Customer Support Teams — quickly search for technical answers across all product spaces to resolve inquiries in real-time
- Developers — test and debug documentation integrations and verify page hierarchies through natural conversation

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 does LlamaIndex connect to MCP servers?
Use the MCP client adapter to create a connection. LlamaIndex discovers all tools and wraps them as query engine tools compatible with any LlamaIndex agent.
Can I combine MCP tools with vector stores?
Yes. LlamaIndex agents can query GitBook tools and vector store indexes in the same turn, combining real-time and embedded data for grounded responses.
Does LlamaIndex support async MCP calls?
Yes. LlamaIndex's async agent framework supports concurrent MCP tool calls for high-throughput data processing pipelines.
