Use OpenDocs with Claude
Claude can read, search, draft, edit, organize and publish your OpenDocs documentation, and every change is saved in page history.
View OpenDocs in Claude’s connector directory
Connect from claude.ai or Claude Desktop
- Find OpenDocs in Claude’s connector directory and choose Connect. Or open Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector.
- Enter the URL
https://app.opendocs.cloud/mcp. - Sign in to OpenDocs when prompted.
- Choose the organization you want Claude to access, and allow read-only or read-and-edit access.
Available on every plan. You can disconnect at any time in claude.ai, or in OpenDocs under Settings > Connected apps.
Connect from Claude Code
Add OpenDocs as an MCP server with an API key:
claude mcp add --transport http opendocs https://app.opendocs.cloud/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer od_YOUR_KEY"
Replace od_YOUR_KEY with an OpenDocs API key. API keys require an Enterprise or Compliance plan and are created by an organization Admin or Owner in Settings > API.

Permissions and safety
Claude only acts inside the organization you choose when you connect it, and only with your role's permissions — Viewers can only read. Every edit Claude makes 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, it keeps a snapshot of the current content so nothing is lost.
Example prompts
- “Draft a getting-started page for our API in the Guides space.”
- “Find pages that mention the old pricing and update them.”
- “What did readers search for this month that found nothing?”
- “Restore yesterday's version of the Setup page.”
- “Translate the Setup page into Spanish and Portuguese, then publish it.”
Let your readers add your docs to Claude
This is separate from the editor connection above. Every public docs site on a paid plan is also a read-only connection your readers can add to their own Claude — no sign-in, no access to your OpenDocs account.
The address
Your site’s address plus /mcp: https://app.opendocs.cloud/docs/{your-org}/mcp, or https://docs.yourcompany.com/mcp on a custom domain.
How readers add it
- claude.ai or Claude Desktop: Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, then paste the address.
- Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http docs https://docs.yourcompany.com/mcp
No OpenDocs sign-in needed — it only reads what is already public.
What Claude can do with it
List the site’s spaces, read the table of contents, search, and read full pages — then link its answers back to the exact page on your site.
What’s shared
Only what is already public: published pages in public spaces, read-only. Drafts, unlisted and private spaces are never shared.
Plan and the per-space switch
Included on every public docs site on Pro, Enterprise and Compliance, and during the 14-day Pro trial — not on the Free plan. It’s on for public spaces by default; turn it off for any space in that space’s settings, under Claude.
Your header already has the button
Every public docs site on a paid plan shows an Add to Claude button in its header with the address and the steps above, ready for readers to use.
