MCP

The Branch Developer Docs Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enables AI-powered code editors like Cursor and Windsurf, plus general-purpose tools like Claude Desktop, to interact directly with your Branch Developer Docs API and documentation.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI applications to securely access external data sources and tools. The Branch Developer Docs MCP server provides AI agents with:

• Direct API access to Branch Developer Docs functionality
• Documentation search capabilities
• Real-time data from your Branch Developer Docs account
• Code generation assistance for Branch Developer Docs integrations

Branch Developer Docs MCP Server Setup

Branch Developer Docs hosts a remote MCP server at https://docs.branchapp.com/mcp. Configure your AI development tools to connect to this server. If your APIs require authentication, you can pass in headers via query parameters or however headers are configured in your MCP client.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "branch-developer": {
      "url": "https://docs.branchapp.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Testing Your MCP Setup

Once configured, you can test your MCP server connection:

1. Open your AI editor (Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
2. Start a new chat with the AI assistant
3. Ask about Branch Developer Docs - try questions like:
   • "How do I [common use case]?"
   • "Show me an example of [API functionality]"
   • "Create a [integration type] using Branch Developer Docs"

The AI should now have access to your Branch Developer Docs account data and documentation through the MCP server.
