docsearch
:blue_book: The easiest way to add search to your documentation.
DocSearch is a Claude Code plugin that provides AI assistants with real-time access to current developer documentation through Algolia's public MCP endpoint. It connects Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, and Cursor to a continuously updated index of popular open-source documentation sites. The plugin enables developers to query technical documentation from frameworks like Bootstrap, VitePress, and MDX directly within their AI coding assistant, eliminating context-switching during development workflows.
