Claude Code Ultimate Guide MCP
An MCP server that gives an agent search over a large Claude Code guide, official docs, releases and ready-made templates
Low risk
We rate an entry low when it mostly gives the agent instructions and reference material.
Why this level
- The server only serves reference data and does not change the project
- Some tools make network calls to public documentation
Install
Manual install

What it does
The repository is a detailed Claude Code guide, and this entry covers its installable MCP server, the npm package claude-code-ultimate-guide-mcp. The server runs over stdio and lets an MCP client such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or VS Code search the guide, open exact source sections, inspect releases and compare Claude Code CLI versions, retrieve ready templates for commands, agents and configs, and query a threat database. In total it exposes 17 tools, 6 resources and one prompt. The guide text ships inside the package, while the official-docs diff tools make network calls to Anthropic's site. It installs via npx and needs no key.
Who it is for. For developers who want to query the Claude Code guide directly from their agent.
Good fit when
- You need to quickly find a guide or official-docs section from the agent
- You need to see what changed between Claude Code CLI versions
- You need a ready template for a command, agent or config
Not a fit when
- You just want to read the guide yourself, which the website is for
- You need a tool that changes code rather than a reference server
Example request

The server only serves reference data and does not edit your project. The package itself is MIT licensed, while the guide text is under CC BY-SA 4.0. It needs Node 18 or newer and npx. The docs-diff tools make network calls to Anthropic's site; the rest of the search runs over data bundled in the package.
How to disable. Run claude mcp remove claude-code-guide or delete the server entry from .mcp.json or your client's configuration.

README in short
The README describes a large Claude Code guide whose canonical sources live in this repository, with the website as the main reading interface. Beyond the text, the repository publishes a stdio MCP server, the claude-code-ultimate-guide-mcp package, so an agent can query the guide from its client. Install commands are given for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, plus a .mcp.json fragment. The server exposes 17 tools, 6 resources and one prompt, including guide search, section reading, and work with releases and templates. The server package is MIT licensed.
FAQ
Is it paid, and is a key needed?
No. The package installs via npx under MIT, and no key is required. The guide text is distributed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
Does the server use the network?
The main search runs over data bundled in the package. Only the tools that diff snapshots of Anthropic's official docs go online.
