About ProjectDocHelper

What is ProjectDocHelper: AI-Powered Automation & Seamless Integration?

ProjectDocHelper is an advanced MCP (Model Context Protocol) server designed to automate the creation of comprehensive project documentation. By integrating with AI development tools like Cursor, it ensures developers gain context-aware, accurate support during coding workflows. The system intelligently generates structured documents tailored to project types—such as frontend, backend, or full-stack—and maintains real-time synchronization with AI tools through the MCP framework. This enables faster problem-solving by providing contextual data directly to AI models during code analysis.

How to Use ProjectDocHelper

Getting started involves three straightforward steps:

  1. Install via terminal: pip install projectdochelper
  2. Generate documentation with mode selection:
    • Simple mode: docgen --basic for core files
    • Advanced mode: docgen --full for detailed specs
  3. Launch MCP service: mcp-server start to enable AI integration

Developers can choose between modes based on project complexity—ideal for both rapid prototyping and enterprise-level projects.
