## Description

The Documentation Retrieval MCP Server (DOCRET) enables AI assistants to access up-to-date documentation for Python libraries including LangChain, LlamaIndex, and OpenAI. Built by S.S.Sreedeep, it leverages the Serper API to perform targeted web searches within documentation sites and uses BeautifulSoup to extract readable content from HTML pages. The server exposes a single tool that allows querying specific libraries with search terms, making it ideal for AI applications that need to reference current library documentation without relying on potentially outdated training data.
