Docs MCP Server
Point an agent at these docs so it can search and read them directly
These docs are themselves an MCP server. Point any MCP client at
https://docs.withsurface.com/mcp and it can search every page and read it as
Markdown, instead of scraping HTML or guessing. No API key: the docs are public.
This is not the Surface MCP server. docs.withsurface.com/mcp is the
documentation, read only and unauthenticated. app.withsurface.com/mcp is
your workspace: forms, leads, responses and the Vault. See
Overview for that one.

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
search_surface_docs | Searches every page and returns the best matching ones, each with its path and a few matching snippets. Takes query and an optional limit (pages, default 8). |
list_surface_docs | Lists every page as path, title and description, in sidebar order, grouped by section. Takes an optional section, for example platform or /build/webhooks. |
get_surface_doc | Returns one page as Markdown. Takes path, either a path or a full URL, with or without a .md suffix or an anchor. |
The usual loop is one search, then a fetch of the two or three pages worth
reading in full. Reach for list_surface_docs when you want to see the shape
of a section rather than hunt for a phrase in it.
The server is public, unauthenticated and CORS enabled, so a browser based client can call it directly.
Without MCP
Every page is also plain Markdown over HTTP, which is the better fit for a script or a crawler:
| URL | What |
|---|---|
/llms.txt | The whole site as a linked index |
/llms-full.txt | Every page's Markdown in one file |
<any-page-url>.md | That page as Markdown, for example /quickstart.md |
