How do I install Docgen?

Copy the stdio config for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or VS Code on this page. It uses the publisher's install, not a PlugMCP proxy.

Does Docgen need an API key?

The publisher lists these environment variables: MCP_LOG_LEVEL, DOCGEN_DOCUMENT_TTL_SECONDS, DOCGEN_MAX_DOCUMENT_BYTES, DOCGEN_RENDER_TIMEOUT_MS, DOCGEN_INLINE_MAX_BYTES, DOCGEN_PDF_ENGINE, MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE, MCP_HTTP_HOST, MCP_HTTP_PORT, MCP_HTTP_ENDPOINT_PATH, MCP_AUTH_MODE.

What transport does Docgen use?

Docgen runs locally over stdio.

Credentials from the publisher

MCP_LOG_LEVEL — Sets the minimum log level for output (e.g., 'debug', 'info', 'warn').
DOCGEN_DOCUMENT_TTL_SECONDS — How long a rendered document is retrievable before it expires, in seconds.
DOCGEN_MAX_DOCUMENT_BYTES — Hard ceiling on a single rendered artifact in bytes; exceeding it aborts the render.
DOCGEN_RENDER_TIMEOUT_MS — Per-render wall-clock budget in milliseconds; exceeding it aborts the render.
DOCGEN_INLINE_MAX_BYTES — Artifacts at or under this byte size are returned inline as base64; larger ones omit it.
DOCGEN_PDF_ENGINE — PDF rendering engine. Only 'lightweight' is implemented; 'chromium' is reserved and rejected at startup.

Claude Code has no install link for a local command. Copy the command below and run it in a terminal.
