MCP server for up-to-date Zig standard library documentation

Hey HN! I made this because Zig's stdlib changes so much and outdated docs are a problem. Server fetches the latest documentation directly from the ziglang.org and makes it available through the MCP, so LLM can query stdlib functions and builtins. Link: https://github.com/zig-wasm/zig-mcp

MCP server for up-to-date Zig standard library documentation launched on July 21, 2025 with 27 votes, #686 of 9,223 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

In plain words

This MCP server provides large language models with access to current Zig standard library documentation by fetching it directly from ziglang.org. It addresses the problem of outdated documentation for the Zig programming language, which updates frequently. Developers and AI systems can query the server to access up-to-date information about Zig's standard library functions and built-in features through the Model Context Protocol.

  • I rawdog a MCP server from scratch in Zig. No SDK2025 · github.com · ▲15

    Some time ago I wanted to write a MCP server in Zig but found out there's no real JSON-RPC support in Zig, which MCP needs for communication. I ended up developing a JSON-RPC 2.0 library in Zig and more [1], which had its challenges. So I finally was able to put together a MCP server in Zig. It's built from scratch implementing the protocol messages from the MCP JSON schema. It's actually quite magical to have the LLM calling my MCP server [2]. The work is not too bad. Most of the hard work has already been done in the JSON-RPC library. [1]…

    Hi HN, Luigi here. We maintain mcp-use an open-source TypeScript framework for building MCP servers and MCP Apps: https://github.com/mcp-use/mcp-use MCP is now (finally) stateless so we rewrote mcp-use v2 from scratch for the 2026-07-28 MCP spec revision: https://blog.modelcontextprotocol.io/posts/2026-07-28/ Thanks to the rebuild: - Throughput: +27% → from 8,615 to 10,982 median ops/sec - Cold launch: 2.2x faster → from 151.6 ms to 68.1 ms - Clean install: 82% smaller → from 404.6 MiB to 74.4 MiB Benchmark with methodology here:…

    Open-Source MCP Server for Context and AI Tools2025 · ▲43

    Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful, but they’re limited by fixed context windows and outdated knowledge. What if your AI could access live search, structured data extraction, OCR, and more—all through a standardized interface? We built the JigsawStack MCP Server, an open-source implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that lets any AI model call external tools effortlessly. Here’s what it unlocks: - Web Search & Scraping: Fetch live information and extract structured data from web pages. - OCR & Structured Data Extraction: Process images, receipts, invoices, and handwritten…

  • MCP server for searching and downloading documents from Anna's Archive2025 · github.com · ▲256

    I was looking around for an MCP server that could connect Anna's Archive to Claude Desktop, as I wanted to be able to search and download books directly through the interface. I couldn't find any public implementations, so ended up building one myself. What it does? - It searches Anna's Archive by keywords. - It downloads books from search results. - It works directly in Claude Desktop through MCP. Check out the repository's README for detailed installation and configuration instructions. The code is fully open source and builds run on GitHub Actions for transparency. I figured I'd share,…

  • A "Codebase" as an MCP Server2025 · github.com · ▲20

    We built a reference MCP server that lets your editor/agent learn a codebase directly from source (signatures, types, AST, comments). Docs are optional. The reference impl runs on our open-source project’s codebase. Why we built it Docs are important, but they add another abstraction layer between your code and your users. Keeping them at the right quality is hard (especially at a startup), and LLM-generated docs are often mediocre until you invest real polish. Exposing code to the model in a structured way keeps answers grounded and current, and it’s always available. You can even…

  • Hey HN! Introducing Trickle Magic Canvas: the world’s first Agentic Canvas, where you can visually co-create apps and websites with AI, from idea to production. Why is a canvas better? Most AI tools today rely on linear chats or text prompts. We believe that limits creativity and clarity. Canvas changes the game. 1. Every version & page at a glance. Each page and sub-page lives on a timeline. You can quickly browse, edit, and preview progress like a living, visual document — no more digging through chat logs or scattered states. 2. The canvas is the context. Unlike linear chats, you can…

  • Today marks ten years, 3653 consecutive days, of running at least one mile every day under the USRSA rules [1]. To celebrate, I built an interactive dashboard that turns a decade of GPX files into charts you can explore. Running has truly changed my life: I've made lifelong friends, explored beautiful places, and more importantly invested into my own health and fitness, which I'm starting to see the positive benefits as I get older. The stack is pretty simple: a NextJS app, with a Postgres database to keep all my running data, and all the stats are pre-computed and cached in Redis, so I…

  • Hi HN - I made a site that takes a UK postcode, grabs the local MP's information and generates an AI mockup of what their ID might look like. It's a small, silly protest at the stupidity of the Online Safety Act that just came into force. edit - My open AI credits got hugged to death, please use a known postcode (like one from Kier Starmer's constituency, WC2B6NH) in the meantime.
