Click Connect Repository and choose your provider:
  • GitHub
  • GitLab
  • Bitbucket

3

Authorize Access

Grant ULPI.io read access to your repositories. We only need read permissions to index documentation.
4

Select Repositories

Choose which repositories contain documentation you want to search. You can select multiple repositories.
5

Configure Branches

For each repository, select which branches to index:
  • main or master (production docs)
  • develop (development docs)
  • Custom branches (feature branches, staging, etc.)
6

Wait for Indexing

ULPI will automatically index your documentation. Time varies by repository size:
  • Small repos (< 100 files): 1-2 minutes
  • Medium repos (100-1000 files): 2-5 minutes
  • Large repos (> 1000 files): 5-15 minutes
Auto-Indexing: ULPI automatically re-indexes your docs on every push via webhooks. No manual updates needed.

​
Step 3: Create an API Key

API keys authenticate your AI assistant with ULPI.io.
1

Go to API Keys

Click API Keys in the ULPI dashboard sidebar
2

Create New Key

Click Create API Key button
3

Configure Settings

Name: Descriptive name (e.g., “Claude Desktop - MacBook Pro”)Environment: Choose one:
  • sandbox - For testing with fake data
  • live - For production use (select this)
Type: Choose one:
  • full_access - All permissions (easiest for getting started)
  • restricted - Specific scopes only (more secure)
Scopes (if restricted):
  • Leave default for Documentation product
  • Tenant-scoped by default (access to all your repos)
4

Save Your Key

IMPORTANT: Copy the API key immediately. You won’t see it again!Format: ulpi_live_... or ulpi_sandbox_...Store it securely (password manager, environment variable, etc.)
Security: Anyone with your API key can access your documentation. Never commit API keys to version control or share them publicly.

​
Step 4: Configure Your IDE

Configure your MCP-compatible IDE (Claude Desktop, VSCode, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, etc.):Example Configuration - Claude Desktop:
  1. Open Claude Desktop settings
  2. Navigate to Developer → Edit Config
  3. Add ULPI MCP server:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ulpi-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@ulpi/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "ULPI_API_KEY": "ulpi_live_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
  1. Restart Claude Desktop
  2. Look for ULPI tools in the tools panel

    ​
    Step 5: Try It Out!

    Ask your AI assistant to search your documentation: Example Queries: 
"Search my documentation for authentication examples"

"Find all API endpoint documentation in the user-service repository"

"Show me documentation about database migrations on the develop branch"

"List all repositories with documentation indexed"
Available MCP Tools:
  • search_documentation - Semantic search across all docs
  • expand_document - Get full content of specific documents
  • list_repositories - Browse indexed repositories
