What is the CXF docs MCP?

The CXF docs MCP (Model Context Protocol) server is a connector that lets AI assistants such as Claude access the CXF documentation directly from your working environment. Instead of copying and pasting fragments or relying on outdated information, the assistant can search and read the official documentation in real time while you talk to it. The server is hosted with the documentation itself:
https://docs.cxf.app/mcp
It is read-only and requires no authentication: it only exposes the public documentation pages (search plus page reading) — never your account or your data.

What is it for?

Once configured, you can ask the assistant about CXF in natural language and get answers grounded in the real documentation: platform concepts, step-by-step guides, feature references, and more. That speeds up tasks like resolving an implementation question, understanding how a module works, or finding the right procedure — without leaving your workflow. The sections below show how to connect it in Claude and in ChatGPT.

Connect it in Claude

1

Open Customize

In Claude (web or desktop app), open the sidebar and click Customize.
2

Go to Connectors

Select Connectors.
3

Add a custom connector

Click + and choose Add custom connector.
4

Fill in the connector

Give it a name (for example, CXF Docs) and set the URL to https://docs.cxf.app/mcp. Leave the advanced OAuth settings empty — the server needs no authentication.
5

Save

Click Add. The connector now appears in your Connectors list, and Claude can search and read the CXF documentation in any conversation.
Using Claude Code? Register it from the terminal in one line:
claude mcp add --transport http cxf-docs https://docs.cxf.app/mcp

Connect it in ChatGPT

This process is only available on the web version of ChatGPT — not in the desktop app. Custom MCP connectors require ChatGPT’s developer mode, which OpenAI flags as an advanced, at-your-own-risk feature.
1

Open Settings

In ChatGPT on the web, open your profile menu and click Settings.
2

Enable developer mode

Go to Apps and turn on Developer mode.
3

Create the app

Click Create app. In the dialog, name it (for example, CXF Docs), choose Server URL as the connection type, and enter https://docs.cxf.app/mcp. Set Authentication to No authentication.
4

Acknowledge and create

Tick the confirmation checkbox in the risk notice and click Create.
5

Connect

In the Add CXF Docs to ChatGPT dialog, click Connect. ChatGPT can now consult the CXF documentation in your conversations.

Example prompts

Once connected, try questions like:
  • “List the attribute types CXF supports.”
  • “What layer types exist in Engagement Funnels?”
  • “Which actions are available for Contact events?”
The assistant searches the documentation, reads the relevant pages, and answers with links back to the source — so you can always jump to the full reference.
