Best MCP servers for documentation

Documentation work pulls in two directions: reading reference docs accurately while you write code, and writing or maintaining the docs your team relies on. A good documentation MCP setup covers both. On the reading side, you want version-accurate library docs pulled into context so the agent writes correct code. On the writing side, you want the agent to read commit history for changelogs and edit the actual pages in your knowledge base or notes vault. The servers below span those needs, from a docs-retrieval server to a local Git reader to two popular knowledge-base back ends. Pick the back end that matches where your docs live. Each ships a verified, current install config.
