Overview | TanStack MCP Docs

TanStack MCP Server provides AI assistants with direct access to TanStack documentation through the Model Context Protocol. This allows AI tools like Claude, Cursor, and others to search and retrieve up-to-date documentation for all TanStack libraries.

Why Use the MCP Server?

AI assistants are trained on snapshots of documentation that become stale over time. The TanStack MCP Server solves this by giving AI tools real-time access to:

Current documentation for all TanStack libraries (Router, Query, Table, Form, Virtual, Store, and more)
Version-specific docs for the exact version you're using
Full-text search across all documentation

Quick Start

Most MCP clients support OAuth authentication. Just add the server URL:

https://tanstack.com/api/mcp

Your client will open a browser window to authorize access on first use. No API key needed.

See Connecting for client-specific setup instructions.

How It Works

The TanStack MCP Server uses the Streamable HTTP transport, making it compatible with serverless deployments and any MCP client that supports HTTP transport. When your AI assistant needs TanStack documentation, it calls the appropriate tool and receives the content directly.

AI Assistant → MCP Client → TanStack MCP Server → Documentation

All documentation is fetched directly from the TanStack GitHub repositories, ensuring you always get the most current content for your specified version.
