Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the BookStack (Wiki) MCP Server?
Connect your BookStack instance to any AI agent and turn your documentation into an interactive knowledge base through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Content Hierarchy — List and manage shelves, books, chapters, and pages using
list_shelves,list_books, andlist_pagesto maintain perfect organization. - Smart Search — Find exactly what you need across your entire wiki instance with the powerful
searchtool. - Full Content Lifecycle — Create, update, or delete pages and chapters directly from your agent to keep documentation fresh.
- Multi-format Export — Use
export_pageto retrieve content in PDF, Markdown, HTML, or Plaintext formats for external use. - System Oversight — Monitor your instance with
get_system_status, checklist_audit_logfor recent changes, or manage thelist_recycle_bin. - Attachments — Manage file attachments linked to your documentation using the dedicated attachment tools.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your BookStack URL, Token ID, and Token Secret
- Start managing your knowledge base from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Documentation Leads — maintain and organize large wikis without manual navigation
- Engineering Teams — search for technical specs and update READMEs directly from the IDE
- Support Teams — quickly find and export help articles for customers

Frequently asked questions
Can I search across all my books and chapters at once?
Yes! Use the search tool with your query string. It will return relevant results from pages, chapters, and books across your entire BookStack instance.
Is it possible to retrieve a page's content in Markdown format?
Absolutely. Use the export_page tool and set the format to 'markdown'. You can also export to PDF, HTML, or plaintext.
How do I see what was recently deleted?
You can use the list_recycle_bin tool to view items that have been moved to the recycle bin before they are permanently removed from the system.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
