What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that enables AI applications to connect to external data sources and tools. The Evidence Docs MCP server allows AI assistants to search and read the Evidence documentation. The server is available at https://evidence.studio/mcp and uses Streamable HTTP.Built-in to Evidence Editor
The Docs MCP server is integrated into the Evidence Editor AI chat by default. When you use the AI assistant in the Evidence Editor, it automatically has access to all Evidence documentation and component information—no additional configuration needed.Adding to Other AI Tools
