Configure Claude Code to help write, review, and update your WebMCP documentation
Configure Claude Code to help write, review, and update your docs.Claude Code is an agentic command line tool that can help you maintain your documentation. It can write new content, review existing pages, and keep docs up to date.You can train Claude Code to understand your documentation standards and workflows by adding a CLAUDE.md file to your project and refining it over time.
Save a CLAUDE.md file at the root of your docs directory to help Claude Code understand your project. This file trains Claude Code on your documentation standards, preferences, and workflows. See Manage Claude’s memory in the Anthropic docs for more information.

# WebMCP documentation## Working relationship- You can push back on ideas-this can lead to better documentation. Cite sources and explain your reasoning when you do so- ALWAYS ask for clarification rather than making assumptions- NEVER lie, guess, or make up information## Project context- Format: MDX files with YAML frontmatter- Config: docs.json for navigation, theme, settings- Components: Mintlify components- Organization: WebMCP-org GitHub organization- Main repository: https://github.com/WebMCP-org/docs## Content strategy- Document just enough for user success - not too much, not too little- Prioritize accuracy and usability of information- Make content evergreen when possible- Search for existing information before adding new content. Avoid duplication unless it is done for a strategic reason- Check existing patterns for consistency- Start by making the smallest reasonable changes## docs.json- Refer to the [Mintlify configuration schema](https://mintlify.com/docs/settings/global) when building the docs.json file and site navigation- Navigation structure is defined in the "navigation" array- Each group has a "group" name and "pages" array## Frontmatter requirements for pages- title: Clear, descriptive page title- description: Concise summary for SEO/navigation- sidebarTitle: (optional) Shorter title for sidebar display- icon: (optional) Icon name from Font Awesome or Lucide## Writing standards- Second-person voice ("you")- Prerequisites at start of procedural content- Test all code examples before publishing- Match style and formatting of existing pages- Include both basic and advanced use cases- Language tags on all code blocks- Alt text on all images- Relative paths for internal links## Git workflow- NEVER use --no-verify when committing- Ask how to handle uncommitted changes before starting- Create a new branch when no clear branch exists for changes- Commit frequently throughout development- NEVER skip or disable pre-commit hooks- Use descriptive commit messages following conventional commits## WebMCP-specific guidelines- Reference the official WebMCP-org repositories- Examples repository: https://github.com/WebMCP-org/examples- NPM packages: @mcp-b/transports and related packages- Focus on Model Context Protocol (MCP) functionality- Include TypeScript examples with proper type definitions- Document both browser and Node.js usage patterns## Do not- Skip frontmatter on any MDX file- Use absolute URLs for internal links- Include untested code examples- Make assumptions - always ask for clarification- Reference outdated MiguelsPizza organization links- Commit node_modules or build artifacts
Once you have Claude Code set up, try these prompts to see how it can help with common documentation tasks. You can copy and paste these examples directly, or adapt them for your specific needs.
Turn rough drafts into proper Markdown pages with components and frontmatter.
Example prompt
Copy
Convert this text into a properly formatted MDX page: WebMCP allows you to connect AI agents to web functionality. It works by:1. Installing the browser extension2. Configuring your MCP server3. Running your AI agent with MCP supportThe main benefits are:- Direct browser automation- Real-time web data access- Secure sandboxed execution
Get suggestions to improve style, formatting, and component usage.
Example prompt
Copy
Review the files in docs/ and suggest improvements for:- Consistent use of components (Cards, Steps, CodeGroups)- Proper frontmatter on all pages- Consistent voice and tone- Missing documentation areas
Keep documentation current when your product evolves.
Example prompt
Copy
Our WebMCP API now requires an apiVersion parameter. Update our docs to:1. Include apiVersion: "2024-01" in all code examples2. Add a migration guide for users on older versions3. Update the API reference with the new parameter
Run Claude Code automatically when code changes to keep docs up to date. You can trigger documentation reviews on pull requests or update examples when API changes are detected.
Share your refined CLAUDE.md file with your team to ensure consistent documentation standards across all contributors. Teams often develop project-specific prompts and workflows that become part of their documentation process.
Store commonly used prompts in a prompts/ directory in your repository for team reuse.
Create reusable slash commands in .claude/commands/ for frequently used documentation tasks specific to your project or team.Example command structure:
Begin by using Claude Code for simple tasks like reviewing a single page or updating code examples. As you become comfortable, expand to more complex documentation workflows.
Refine your CLAUDE.md regularly
Update your CLAUDE.md file based on patterns you notice. If you find yourself giving the same instructions repeatedly, add them to the file.
Use version control
Always work in a git branch when making documentation changes. This allows you to review Claude Code’s work before merging.
Combine with other tools
Claude Code works well alongside linters, formatters, and other documentation tools. Use it as part of your broader documentation pipeline.
