Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed, Codex, Gemini CLI, JetBrains and more.

The configuration

Every client below is a variation of this one stdio server entry. If you already know how to add an MCP server to your tool, you can stop reading and paste this in:

appjars-docs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "appjars-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@serverless-dna/mkdocs-mcp",
        "{{DOCS_URL}}",
        "Official AppJars documentation. Use this to search for guides, references, and integration steps for the AppJars suite of full-stack functional modules for Java enterprise applications built on Spring Boot and Vaadin, including User Manager, AI Support, Activity Log, Configuration Manager, Dynamic Menu, Email Manager, I18N Manager, Issue Tracker, Process Manager, and User Profile."
      ]
    }
  }
}

Requirements: Node.js 18+ on your PATH so that npx can resolve the package.

Install in your IDE / client

Pick your tool. Configs are stdio-based and run locally.

Claude Code

The fastest path is the built-in CLI:

Terminal

claude mcp add appjars-docs -- npx -y @serverless-dna/mkdocs-mcp {{DOCS_URL}} "Official AppJars documentation. Use this to search for guides, references, and integration steps for the AppJars suite of full-stack functional modules for Java enterprise applications built on Spring Boot and Vaadin, including User Manager, AI Support, Activity Log, Configuration Manager, Dynamic Menu, Email Manager, I18N Manager, Issue Tracker, Process Manager, and User Profile."

Or edit .mcp.json in your project (or ~/.claude.json for the user scope):

.mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "appjars-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@serverless-dna/mkdocs-mcp",
        "{{DOCS_URL}}",
        "Official AppJars documentation. Use this to search for guides, references, and integration steps for the AppJars suite of full-stack functional modules for Java enterprise applications built on Spring Boot and Vaadin, including User Manager, AI Support, Activity Log, Configuration Manager, Dynamic Menu, Email Manager, I18N Manager, Issue Tracker, Process Manager, and User Profile."
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart any running Claude Code session, then run /mcp to confirm the server is connected.

Claude Desktop

Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config, or edit the file directly:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "appjars-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@serverless-dna/mkdocs-mcp",
        "{{DOCS_URL}}",
        "Official AppJars documentation. Use this to search for guides, references, and integration steps for the AppJars suite of full-stack functional modules for Java enterprise applications built on Spring Boot and Vaadin, including User Manager, AI Support, Activity Log, Configuration Manager, Dynamic Menu, Email Manager, I18N Manager, Issue Tracker, Process Manager, and User Profile."
      ]
    }
  }
}

Fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop. The new tool appears under the 🔌 menu in the input box.

Cursor

Add it project-wide in .cursor/mcp.json or globally in ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "appjars-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@serverless-dna/mkdocs-mcp",
        "{{DOCS_URL}}",
        "Official AppJars documentation. Use this to search for guides, references, and integration steps for the AppJars suite of full-stack functional modules for Java enterprise applications built on Spring Boot and Vaadin, including User Manager, AI Support, Activity Log, Configuration Manager, Dynamic Menu, Email Manager, I18N Manager, Issue Tracker, Process Manager, and User Profile."
      ]
    }
  }
}

Then enable it under Cursor Settings → MCP.

VS Code (GitHub Copilot — Agent mode)

Requires VS Code 1.99+ and Copilot in Agent mode. Create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "appjars-docs": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@serverless-dna/mkdocs-mcp",
        "{{DOCS_URL}}",
        "Official AppJars documentation. Use this to search for guides, references, and integration steps for the AppJars suite of full-stack functional modules for Java enterprise applications built on Spring Boot and Vaadin, including User Manager, AI Support, Activity Log, Configuration Manager, Dynamic Menu, Email Manager, I18N Manager, Issue Tracker, Process Manager, and User Profile."
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code uses servers (not mcpServers) and requires an explicit type.

Windsurf

Open Cascade → settings (top right gear) → MCP, then edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "appjars-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@serverless-dna/mkdocs-mcp",
        "{{DOCS_URL}}",
        "Official AppJars documentation. Use this to search for guides, references, and integration steps for the AppJars suite of full-stack functional modules for Java enterprise applications built on Spring Boot and Vaadin, including User Manager, AI Support, Activity Log, Configuration Manager, Dynamic Menu, Email Manager, I18N Manager, Issue Tracker, Process Manager, and User Profile."
      ]
    }
  }
}

Click Refresh in the MCP panel after saving.

Cline (VS Code extension)

Click the MCP icon in the Cline sidebar → Configure MCP Servers, then add:

cline_mcp_settings.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "appjars-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@serverless-dna/mkdocs-mcp",
        "{{DOCS_URL}}",
        "Official AppJars documentation. Use this to search for guides, references, and integration steps for the AppJars suite of full-stack functional modules for Java enterprise applications built on Spring Boot and Vaadin, including User Manager, AI Support, Activity Log, Configuration Manager, Dynamic Menu, Email Manager, I18N Manager, Issue Tracker, Process Manager, and User Profile."
      ],
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

Roo Code (VS Code extension)

Roo Code is a fork of Cline and uses the same MCP config format. Open the MCP panel → Edit Settings:

mcp_settings.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "appjars-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@serverless-dna/mkdocs-mcp",
        "{{DOCS_URL}}",
        "Official AppJars documentation. Use this to search for guides, references, and integration steps for the AppJars suite of full-stack functional modules for Java enterprise applications built on Spring Boot and Vaadin, including User Manager, AI Support, Activity Log, Configuration Manager, Dynamic Menu, Email Manager, I18N Manager, Issue Tracker, Process Manager, and User Profile."
      ]
    }
  }
}

Continue

Edit ~/.continue/config.yaml and add an mcpServers entry:

~/.continue/config.yaml

mcpServers:
  - name: appjars-docs
    command: npx
    args:
      - "-y"
      - "@serverless-dna/mkdocs-mcp"
      - "{{DOCS_URL}}"
      - "Official AppJars documentation. Use this to search for guides, references, and integration steps for the AppJars suite of full-stack functional modules for Java enterprise applications built on Spring Boot and Vaadin, including User Manager, AI Support, Activity Log, Configuration Manager, Dynamic Menu, Email Manager, I18N Manager, Issue Tracker, Process Manager, and User Profile."

For older Continue versions on config.json, place the server inside experimental.modelContextProtocolServers.

Zed

Open the command palette → zed: open settings, then add a context server:

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "appjars-docs": {
      "command": {
        "path": "npx",
        "args": [
          "-y",
          "@serverless-dna/mkdocs-mcp",
          "{{DOCS_URL}}",
          "Official AppJars documentation. Use this to search for guides, references, and integration steps for the AppJars suite of full-stack functional modules for Java enterprise applications built on Spring Boot and Vaadin, including User Manager, AI Support, Activity Log, Configuration Manager, Dynamic Menu, Email Manager, I18N Manager, Issue Tracker, Process Manager, and User Profile."
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Zed calls them context servers rather than MCP servers, but the protocol is the same.

JetBrains AI Assistant

In any JetBrains IDE: Settings → Tools → AI Assistant → Model Context Protocol (MCP) → Add. Choose As JSON and paste:

MCP server JSON

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "appjars-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@serverless-dna/mkdocs-mcp",
        "{{DOCS_URL}}",
        "Official AppJars documentation. Use this to search for guides, references, and integration steps for the AppJars suite of full-stack functional modules for Java enterprise applications built on Spring Boot and Vaadin, including User Manager, AI Support, Activity Log, Configuration Manager, Dynamic Menu, Email Manager, I18N Manager, Issue Tracker, Process Manager, and User Profile."
      ]
    }
  }
}

If npx isn't found, use the absolute path (which npx on macOS/Linux, where npx on Windows).

        "@serverless-dna/mkdocs-mcp",
        "{{DOCS_URL}}",
        "Official AppJars documentation. Use this to search for guides, references, and integration steps for the AppJars suite of full-stack functional modules for Java enterprise applications built on Spring Boot and Vaadin, including User Manager, AI Support, Activity Log, Configuration Manager, Dynamic Menu, Email Manager, I18N Manager, Issue Tracker, Process Manager, and User Profile."
      ]
    }
  }
}

Other MCP clients

Any MCP-compatible client that can launch a local stdio process will work. Point it at:

Command: npx
Args: -y @serverless-dna/mkdocs-mcp {{DOCS_URL}} "Official AppJars documentation…"
Transport: stdio

The third argument (the description) is passed to the MCP server and surfaces as the tool's description to the model — keep it descriptive.

Verify it works

Ask your assistant something only the AppJars docs would know, e.g.:

“Using the appjars-docs MCP, how do I configure an external authentication provider in User Manager, and what role mappings are supported?”

The assistant should call the MCP search tool and cite pages under the AppJars docs site.
