How it looks

From a repository to a published docs site

Ask in plain words. Claude proposes an outline, you confirm it, and the pages land in OpenDocs as drafts. Nothing goes live until you say so.

Example Claude Code session: the user asks Claude to document the repository in OpenDocs. Claude reads the README, changelog, package manifest and source, proposes a space with Getting started, Guides, Reference and Troubleshooting sections, creates 12 draft pages after the user confirms, and publishes the space when the user asks.

Setup

Three steps, a few minutes

Connect OpenDocs, add the plugin, then give your customers a read-only connection to the docs you publish.

1

Connect OpenDocs

Add OpenDocs to Claude Code as an MCP server, using an OpenDocs API key created by an organization Admin or Owner in Settings > API.

Enterprise and Compliance, with an API key
2

Install the plugin

Add the OpenDocs plugin marketplace, then install the plugin. It gives Claude four documentation skills that use the OpenDocs tools.

Free and open source (MIT)
3

Share with your customers

Every public docs site on a paid plan answers MCP at its address plus /mcp. Your readers add it to their own Claude, read-only, with no sign-in.

Pro, Enterprise and Compliance

Step 1: connect OpenDocs (replace od_YOUR_KEY with your API key)

bash
claude mcp add --transport http opendocs https://app.opendocs.cloud/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer od_YOUR_KEY"

Step 2: inside Claude Code, add the plugin marketplace

Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add P4Software/opendocs-claude-plugin

Then install the plugin

Claude Code
/plugin install opendocs@opendocs

Step 3: what your readers run (your docs address plus /mcp)

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

Prefer the browser? The same plugin installs in claude.ai under Customize > Plugins > Add > Add marketplace, and the OpenDocs connector is in Claude’s connector directory on every plan. See Use OpenDocs with Claude.

The plugin

What the plugin skills do

The OpenDocs plugin contains instructions only: it stores nothing and runs no code. Claude shows drafts before saving and publishes only when you ask.

repo-to-docs

Turns the repository in your working directory into a docs site: getting started, guides, reference and troubleshooting. It reads your README, manifest, public surface and tests, confirms the outline with you first, and never reads or quotes .env files or credentials.

“Document this repo in OpenDocs”

publish-to-opendocs

Publishes something from the conversation, such as a policy, help article or release notes, as a page in the right space. If a page on the same topic exists, it offers to update it instead of creating a duplicate.

“Publish these release notes to our docs”

write-sop

Writes a standard operating procedure in a consistent structure (purpose, scope, roles, numbered steps, records, revision history) and saves it to OpenDocs. Anything you did not confirm is marked “To confirm”.

“Write an SOP for our release process”

docs-audit

Reviews a docs space for missing, stale or hard-to-use pages and ranks what to fix. Where your plan includes analytics, it also checks reader searches that found nothing. It never deletes pages without explicit confirmation.

“Audit our Developer Docs space”

Safety

Your docs stay reviewable

Claude only acts inside the OpenDocs organization it is connected to, and only with the permissions that connection has. Every edit is saved as a page revision authored Claude (MCP), so you can see exactly what changed and restore any earlier version.

Before Claude replaces a page’s text, OpenDocs keeps a snapshot of the current content. Tools that remove or replace content, such as update_page_content, unpublish_space and delete_page, are ones Claude asks about before using.

Which plan do I need?

Claude Code connection: API keys require an Enterprise or Compliance plan. claude.ai and Claude Desktop: the OpenDocs connector works on every plan, including Free, and you sign in with OAuth. Reader connection for your customers: every public docs site on Pro, Enterprise and Compliance, and during the 14-day Pro trial; not on the Free plan. See pricing for everything each plan includes.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need the plugin to use OpenDocs from Claude Code?

No. Once OpenDocs is connected as an MCP server, Claude Code can already use the OpenDocs tools. The plugin adds four skills that give Claude a consistent way to document a repository, publish from a conversation, write SOPs and audit a docs space.

Which plan does the Claude Code connection need?

Claude Code connects with an OpenDocs API key, and API keys require an Enterprise or Compliance plan. An organization Admin or Owner creates them in Settings > API. The claude.ai and Claude Desktop connector works on every plan, including Free.

Will Claude publish my docs without asking?

No. The plugin creates pages as drafts, shows you the outline and drafts first, and publishes only when you ask. Every change is saved in page history, so you can restore an earlier version.

Does Claude read my secrets or environment files?

The repo-to-docs skill tells Claude never to read or quote .env files, credentials, keys, tokens or anything under a secrets folder, and never to put such values in a page.

What does the reader connection share with my customers?

Only what is already public: published pages in public spaces, read-only. Drafts, unlisted and private spaces are never shared. It is on for public spaces by default, and you can turn it off per space under Claude in the space settings.

Can I use the same plugin in claude.ai?

Yes. In claude.ai, open Customize > Plugins > Add > Add marketplace and enter the plugin repository URL. The skills then work with the OpenDocs connector you add from Claude’s connector directory.
