## Description

A local documentation MCP server that provides seamless access to markdown files from multiple sources including shared commands (~/.claude/commands), project docs, and root-level files. Features smart fuzzy search with exact/substring match priority, optional file list caching with automatic invalidation (~3000x faster performance), file watching for real-time updates, and robust security with path traversal prevention and size limits. Built with Go and supporting configurable directory exclusions, source prefixes for explicit file targeting, and context-aware scanning, it's useful for development workflows that need access to local documentation, knowledge bases, project wikis, and command references.
