4.95 / 5 composite score · 87.8% API recall · 49 questions evaluated

Vue Docs MCP provides deep access to the official Vite documentation, covering the build tool's configuration reference, plugin API, HMR API, JavaScript API, Environment API, and migration guides.

Activation

Vite is not enabled by default. Call set_framework_preferences to activate it:

set_framework_preferences(vite=true)

Tools

Semantic search over Vite documentation. Uses a 6-step pipeline: embed query, hybrid search (dense + BM25), resolve HyPE hits, expand cross-references, rerank, and reconstruct into readable markdown.

ParameterTypeDefaultDescription
querystringDeveloper question or topic (max 2000 chars)
scopestring"all"Documentation section to search within
max_resultsinteger3Number of sections to return (1-20)

Scope values: all, guide, config, changes, plugins

vite_api_lookup

Fast exact-match API reference lookup with fuzzy fallback. Returns type signatures, descriptions, and usage examples directly from the documentation.

ParameterTypeDefaultDescription
namestringAPI name to look up (e.g. defineConfig, createServer, server.proxy)

Benchmarks vs Context7

Evaluated on 49 Vite questions scored by an LLM judge (Gemini, temperature 0) across 5 dimensions on a 1-5 scale.

Methodology

Each question has a ground-truth answer with expected API names and documentation paths. Both providers receive the same question and return documentation context. The judge scores the retrieved context on relevance, completeness, correctness, API coverage, and conciseness. See the eval/ directory in the repository for the full evaluation framework.
