Documentation Quick Start

Set up AI-powered semantic documentation search for your repositories.

What You’ll Need

GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Gitea account with repositories
Claude Desktop, VSCode, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible IDE
5 minutes of setup time

Step 1: Create Your Account

Go to app.ulpi.io and click Sign Up

Choose Authentication

Select Plan

Choose your Documentation plan:

Starter: $29/mo (5 repos, 100k tokens)
Pro: $99/mo (25 repos, 500k tokens)

Start your 14-day free trial - no credit card required

Step 2: Connect Your Repositories

Navigate to Repositories

In the ULPI dashboard, click Repositories in the sidebar

Connect Version Control

Click Connect Repository and choose your provider:

GitHub
GitLab
Bitbucket
Gitea (self-hosted)

Authorize Access

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

Select Repositories

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

Configure Branches

For each repository, select which branches to index:

main or master (production docs)
develop (development docs)
Custom branches (feature branches, staging, etc.)

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.

Go to API Keys

Click API Keys in the ULPI dashboard sidebar

Create New Key

Click Create API Key button

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)

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:

Open Claude Desktop settings
Navigate to Developer → Edit Config
Add ULPI MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ulpi-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@ulpi/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "ULPI_API_KEY": "ulpi_live_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop
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

        "ULPI_REPOSITORY_ID": "123"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop
Look for ULPI Skills tools in the tools panel

Step 5: Try Your First Skill!

Ask your AI assistant to use a skill:Example Queries:

"Use the Create Laravel API Endpoint skill to build /api/posts"

"Follow the Laravel Database Migration skill to create a users table"

"Use the Git Commit Best Practices skill to write a commit message for these changes"

"Show me what skills are available for my React project"

Step 2: Connect Your Repositories

Navigate to Repositories

In the ULPI dashboard, click Repositories in the sidebar

Connect Version Control

Click Connect Repository and choose your provider:

GitHub
GitLab
Bitbucket
Gitea (self-hosted)

Authorize Access

Grant ULPI.io read access to your repositories

Select Repositories

Choose repositories for the products you subscribed to

Enable Features

For each repository, configure the products you subscribed to:Documentation (if subscribed):

Select branches to index for documentation
Wait for initial indexing (1-15 minutes)

Skills (if subscribed):

Tech stack is automatically detected
Skills are filtered by your technologies
Review and add missing technologies if needed

Memory (if subscribed):

Memory is automatically available via MCP
No repository-specific setup needed

Coordination (if subscribed):

Create a coordination project
Register agent identities
Configure contact policies

Step 3: Create API Keys

You can use one API key for all products or create separate keys for better organization.

Single Key (Recommended)
Separate Keys

Use one key for all ULPI products

Go to API Keys

Click API Keys in the ULPI dashboard sidebar

Create New Key

Click Create API Key button

Configure Settings

Name: “Claude Desktop - Full Access”Environment: liveType: full_access (grants access to all products)Scopes: Automatically includes all repositories

Save Your Key

Copy the API key: ulpi_live_...Store it securely

Memory & Coordination: Both products are automatically available via MCP with any valid API key. No additional repository-specific setup is needed.

Use different keys for different productsDocumentation API Key:

Name: “Claude Desktop - Documentation”
Type: restricted
Scopes: Tenant-scoped (default)
Copy key: ulpi_live_docs_...

Skills API Key:

Name: “Claude Desktop - Skills”
Type: restricted
Scopes: Select specific repositories
- Format: repo:{id}:skills
Copy key: ulpi_live_skills_...

Memory & Coordination:

Use your full access key or any tenant-scoped key
Both products work at the tenant level, not per-repository

This approach gives you fine-grained control over which repositories have Documentation and Skills enabled.

Step 4: Configure Your IDE

Add both MCP servers to your IDE configuration.Claude Desktop Example:

Open Claude Desktop settings
Navigate to Developer → Edit Config
Add both MCP servers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ulpi-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@ulpi/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "ULPI_API_KEY": "ulpi_live_your_api_key_here"
      }
    },
    "ulpi-skills": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@ulpi/mcp-server-skills"],
      "env": {
        "ULPI_API_KEY": "ulpi_live_your_api_key_here",
        "ULPI_REPOSITORY_ID": "123"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop
Look for both ULPI Documentation and ULPI Skills tools

Step 5: Complete Workflow Example

Experience the power of Documentation + Skills working together:Example 1: Context + Code Generation

You: "Search our authentication docs for how we handle JWT tokens"
AI: [Uses Documentation MCP to find internal auth patterns]

You: "Now use the Laravel API Endpoint skill to create /api/auth/login following our patterns"
AI: [Uses Skills MCP to generate code matching your architecture]

Example 2: Learning + Implementation

You: "Find documentation about our database migration conventions"
AI: [Searches your internal docs]

You: "Use the Laravel Database Migration skill to create a users table following those conventions"
AI: [Generates migration with your team's standards]

Example 3: Research + Best Practices

You: "Search for our Git commit message guidelines"
AI: [Finds your team's commit standards]

You: "Use the Git Commit Best Practices skill to write a commit for these changes"
AI: [Generates commit message matching your conventions]
