🤔 Why DevDocs?

The Problem

Documentation is everywhere and LLMs are OUTDATED in their knowledge. Reading it, understanding it, and implementing it takes weeks of research and development even for senior engineers. We cut down that time to hours.

Our Solution

DevDocs brings documentation to you. Point it at any tech documentation URL, and watch as it:

1. Discovers all related pages to that technology
2. Extracts meaningful content without the fluff
3. Organizes information logically inside an MCP server ready for your LLM to query
4. Presents it in a clean, searchable format in MD or JSON for finetuning LLM purpose

🔥 We want anyone in the world to have the ability to build amazing products quickly using the most cutting edge LLM technology.

🚀 Getting Started

DevDocs is designed to be easy to use with Docker, requiring minimal setup for new users.

Prerequisites

• Docker installed on your system
• Git for cloning the repository

Quick Start with Docker (Recommended)

For Mac/Linux users:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/cyberagiinc/DevDocs.git

# Navigate to the project directory
cd DevDocs

# Start all services using Docker
./docker-start.sh

For Windows users:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/cyberagiinc/DevDocs.git

# Navigate to the project directory
cd DevDocs

# Start all services using Docker
docker-start.bat

This single command will:

1. Create all necessary directories
2. Set appropriate permissions
3. Build and start all Docker containers
4. Monitor the services to ensure they're running properly

Accessing DevDocs

Once the services are running:

• Frontend UI: http://localhost:3001
• Backend API: http://localhost:24125
• Crawl4AI Service: http://localhost:11235

Logs and Monitoring

When using Docker, logs can be accessed :

1. Container Logs (recommended for debugging):

   # View logs from a specific container
   docker logs devdocs-frontend
   docker logs devdocs-backend
   docker logs devdocs-mcp
   docker logs devdocs-crawl4ai
   
   # Follow logs in real-time
   docker logs -f devdocs-backend
   

To stop all services, press Ctrl+C in the terminal where docker-start is running.

📜 Scripts and Their Purpose

DevDocs includes various utility scripts to help with development, testing, and maintenance. Here's a quick reference:

Startup Scripts

• start.sh / start.bat / start.ps1 - Start all services (frontend, backend, MCP) for local development.
• docker-start.sh / docker-start.bat - Start all services using Docker containers.

MCP Server Scripts

• check_mcp_health.sh - Verify the MCP server's health and configuration status.
• restart_and_test_mcp.sh - Restart Docker containers with updated MCP configuration and test connectivity.

Crawl4AI Scripts

• check_crawl4ai.sh - Check the status and health of the Crawl4AI service.
• debug_crawl4ai.sh - Run Crawl4AI in debug mode with verbose logging for troubleshooting.
• test_crawl4ai.py - Run tests against the Crawl4AI service to verify functionality.
• test_from_container.sh - Test the Crawl4AI service from within a Docker container.

Utility Scripts

• view_result.sh - Display crawl results in a formatted view.
• find_empty_folders.sh - Identify empty directories in the project structure.
• analyze_empty_folders.sh - Analyze empty folders and categorize them by risk level.
• verify_reorganization.sh - Verify that code reorganization was successful.

These scripts are organized in the following directories:

• Root directory: Main scripts for common operations
• scripts/general/: General utility scripts
• scripts/docker/: Docker-specific scripts
• scripts/mcp/: MCP server management scripts
• scripts/test/: Testing and verification scripts
