Working with Agents

Key Guide

How to connect AI agents, LLMs, and automation tools to your documentation.

Agents are First-Class Citizens

AgentDocs is designed from the ground up with AI agents as first-class consumers of documentation. Every page can be accessed as clean, structured Markdown via a dedicated agent endpoint — no HTML parsing, no JavaScript rendering, no authentication hassles.

Whether you're feeding documentation to Claude, ChatGPT, a custom LLM pipeline, or a CI/CD script, AgentDocs provides multiple integration points:

Raw Endpoint

Plain Markdown via share links. No auth needed.

API Tokens

Full CRUD access for agents that need to write.

Webhooks

Push notifications when docs change.

MCP Server — the fastest integrationRecommended

If your agent runs in a client that can launch a local MCP server (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf), you can skip raw REST: the official MCP server exposes AgentDocs as 14 native tools (keyword and semantic search, read, create, update, append, markdown-folder import, share and more), addressable by slug or UUID. Works with account tokens and space-scoped tokens alike. On Claude.ai web, upload the Skill instead (a hosted remote connector is on the roadmap).

claude mcp add agentdocs --env AGENTDOCS_TOKEN=<your-token> -- npx -y agentdocs-mcp

Any other MCP client can launch the same server with this standard config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentdocs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "agentdocs-mcp"],
      "env": { "AGENTDOCS_TOKEN": "<your-token>" }
    }
  }
}

The Agent-Friendly Raw Endpoint

The raw endpoint is the recommended way to give AI agents access to your documentation. It returns pure Markdown text with YAML frontmatter — no HTML, no JSON wrapping, no authentication required.

Endpoint
GET /api/shared/{token}/raw

Response Format

The response is plain text (Content-Type: text/markdown; charset=utf-8) with the following structure:

shared_via: AgentDocs

# Deployment Guide

This guide covers how to deploy the application to production.

## Prerequisites

- Docker 20.10+
- Kubernetes 1.25+
- Access to the container registry

## Steps

1. Build the container image:
   ```bash
   docker build -t myapp:latest .
   ```

2. Push to the registry:
   ```bash
   docker push registry.example.com/myapp:latest
   ```

3. Apply the Kubernetes manifests:
   ```bash
   kubectl apply -f k8s/
   ```

YAML Frontmatter Fields

FieldTypeDescription
titlestringThe page title as set by the author
shared_viastringAlways "AgentDocs" — useful for source attribution
last_updatedISO 8601When the page was last modified

ℹ️ No authentication required. The share token in the URL is all that's needed. This makes it trivial to paste the URL into an agent's system prompt, tool definition, or configuration file.

Getting the Agent Link

The easiest way to get an agent-friendly URL:

1

Create a share link

Right-click a page in the sidebar and select "Share", or use the share button in the editor toolbar.

2

Click the 🤖 "Copy agent link" button

In the share dialog, you'll see a robot icon button next to the standard copy button. Click it to copy the /api/shared/:token/raw URL to your clipboard.

3

Paste into your agent's config

Use the URL in your agent's system prompt, tool definition, MCP server config, or wherever it needs to access documentation.

Example: Fetching from the Command Line

# Fetch the raw markdown for a shared page
curl https://agentdocs.eu/api/shared/abc123def456.../raw

# Response:
# ---
# title: Deployment Guide
# shared_via: AgentDocs
# last_updated: 2025-01-15T10:30:00.000Z
# ---
#
# # Deployment Guide
# ...

# You can also pipe it directly to other tools:
curl -s https://agentdocs.eu/api/shared/abc123.../raw | head -20

Practical Examples

Feeding Docs to Claude / ChatGPT

You can include an AgentDocs raw URL in your AI assistant's system prompt or tool definition to give it access to always-up-to-date documentation:

# In a system prompt or instruction set:

You have access to our deployment documentation.
Fetch the latest version from:
https://agentdocs.eu/api/shared/abc123def456/raw

Use this documentation to answer questions about
deployment procedures, troubleshooting, and configuration.

Using in MCP Tool Definitions

If your agent framework supports tools/functions, you can define a tool that fetches doc pages:

{
  "name": "get_deployment_docs",
  "description": "Fetch the latest deployment documentation from AgentDocs",
  "parameters": {},
  "implementation": {
    "type": "http",
    "method": "GET",
    "url": "https://agentdocs.eu/api/shared/abc123def456/raw"
  }
}

CI/CD Pipeline Integration

Pull documentation into your build pipelines, test suites, or deployment scripts:

# GitHub Actions example
jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Fetch deployment runbook
        run: |
          curl -s https://agentdocs.eu/api/shared/abc123.../raw \
            > docs/runbook.md

      - name: Validate against runbook
        run: |
          # Parse the markdown and check deployment prerequisites
          python scripts/validate_deployment.py docs/runbook.md

Python Script Example

import requests

def fetch_agentdocs_page(share_token: str) -> dict:
    """Fetch a page from AgentDocs and parse the frontmatter."""
    url = f"https://agentdocs.eu/api/shared/{share_token}/raw"
    response = requests.get(url)
    response.raise_for_status()

    text = response.text

    # Parse YAML frontmatter
    if text.startswith("---"):
        parts = text.split("---", 2)
        import yaml
        metadata = yaml.safe_load(parts[1])
        content = parts[2].strip()
        return {"metadata": metadata, "content": content}

    return {"metadata": {}, "content": text}

# Usage:
page = fetch_agentdocs_page("abc123def456")
print(f"Title: {page['metadata']['title']}")
print(f"Updated: {page['metadata']['last_updated']}")
print(f"Content length: {len(page['content'])} chars")

Full API Access with API Tokens

If your agent needs to create, update, or delete pages (not just read them), it needs an API token for authenticated access to the full REST API.

Read vs. Write access:

  • Read-only → Use share links + raw endpoint (no auth needed)
  • Read + Write → Use API token with Authorization: Token <api_token>
# Authenticate with an API token
curl https://agentdocs.eu/api/workspaces \
  -H "Authorization: Token your_api_token_here"

# Create a page programmatically
curl -X POST https://agentdocs.eu/api/spaces/SPACE_ID/pages \
  -H "Authorization: Token your_api_token_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "title": "Auto-generated Changelog",
    "slug": "changelog-2025-01-15",
    "content": "# Changelog\n\n## v2.1.0\n- Added new feature X\n- Fixed bug Y"
  }'

# Update an existing page
curl -X PUT https://agentdocs.eu/api/pages/PAGE_ID \
  -H "Authorization: Token your_api_token_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"content": "# Updated content..."}'

Learn how to get your API token in the API Authentication guide.

Webhook Notifications

Instead of polling for changes, configure webhooks to get notified instantly when documentation changes. This is ideal for agents that need to stay in sync with the latest docs.

# When a page is updated, your webhook receives:
{
  "event": "page.updated",
  "timestamp": "2025-01-15T10:30:00.000Z",
  "workspace_id": "...",
  "data": {
    "page_id": "...",
    "title": "Deployment Guide",
    "space_id": "...",
    "updated_by": "alice@example.com"
  }
}

Your agent can receive the webhook, then fetch the latest content via the raw endpoint or API. Read more in the Webhooks guide.
