# Connect AI assistants to the documentation

Executive summary
**You can connect AI assistants to the Ripple Custody documentation through the Ripple Docs MCP server and through Context7.**

- The Ripple Docs MCP server exposes this documentation set at `https://docs.ripple.com/mcp`.
- Any client that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) can connect, including Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and ChatGPT.
- The documentation is also indexed by [Context7](https://context7.com), which serves version-current docs to AI coding tools.
- No authentication is required to read the documentation through either integration.


AI coding assistants answer questions from their training data, which can be
outdated or incomplete for fast-moving products. Connecting your assistant to
the live documentation lets it search and read the current pages — including
API reference, payload examples, and release-specific behavior — before it
answers.

## Ripple Docs MCP server

The [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) is an open
standard that lets AI tools query external data sources. Ripple publishes an
MCP server for this documentation site:


```text
https://docs.ripple.com/mcp
```

The server covers all products on `docs.ripple.com`, including
Ripple Custody. When connected, your assistant can search the
documentation and retrieve full pages in response to your questions.

### Connect Claude Code

Add the server with the Claude Code CLI:


```bash
claude mcp add --transport http ripple-docs https://docs.ripple.com/mcp
```

### Connect Cursor

1. Open the command palette (**Cmd+Shift+P** on macOS, **Ctrl+Shift+P** on Windows or Linux).
2. Select **Open MCP settings**, then **Add custom MCP**.
3. Add the server to `mcp.json`:



```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ripple-docs": {
      "url": "https://docs.ripple.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### Connect VS Code

Add the server to `.vscode/mcp.json` in your workspace:


```json
{
  "servers": {
    "ripple-docs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://docs.ripple.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### Other clients

Any MCP-compatible client can use the same URL. Consult your tool's
documentation for how to register a remote MCP server over HTTP.

## Context7

[Context7](https://context7.com) indexes public product documentation and
serves it to AI coding tools on demand. Ripple product documentation on
`docs.ripple.com` is indexed by Context7, so tools with the Context7
integration can pull current Ripple Custody documentation without a
direct connection to the Ripple Docs MCP server.

The Ripple Custody documentation is indexed as the
`/websites/ripple_products_custody` library. To view the entry, see
[Ripple Custody on Context7](https://context7.com/websites/ripple_products_custody).

To use it:

1. Add the Context7 MCP server to your tool by following the
[Context7 installation guide](https://github.com/upstash/context7).
2. Ask your assistant to look up **Ripple Custody** documentation, or
reference the library ID `/websites/ripple_products_custody` directly in
your prompt.


## Choose an integration

| Integration | Best for |
|  --- | --- |
| Ripple Docs MCP server | Direct search and retrieval from the live documentation site, always current. |
| Context7 | Teams already using Context7 for library documentation across their stack. |


Both integrations are read-only views of the public documentation. They do not
provide access to your Ripple Custody instance, accounts, or any
customer data, and you cannot execute API operations through them.
