Using the Docs with AI

The NativeScript docs are built to work as well for AI coding agents as they do for humans. Every page is available as plain markdown, machine-readable indexes are published at stable URLs, and a hosted MCP server lets any agent search the docs and API reference directly.

Markdown for every page ​

Append .md to any docs URL to get the raw markdown version of that page — ideal for pasting into a chat or fetching from an agent:

https://docs.nativescript.org/guide/multi-window.md
https://docs.nativescript.org/ui/list-view.md
https://docs.nativescript.org/api/classes/Button.md

You can also use the Copy page button at the top of every page to copy the markdown, open the page in ChatGPT or Claude, or install the MCP server in your editor.

llms.txt ​

Following the llms.txt convention, two indexes are generated on every deploy:

• /llms.txt — an index of all documentation pages with titles and links
• /llms-full.txt — the entire documentation compiled into a single markdown file

MCP server ​

A hosted Model Context Protocol server is available at:

https://docs.nativescript.org/mcp

It uses the Streamable HTTP transport, requires no authentication, and exposes four tools:

Cursor ​

Use the Copy page → Install MCP in Cursor button on any page, or add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nativescript": {
      "url": "https://docs.nativescript.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code ​

{
  "servers": {
    "nativescript": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://docs.nativescript.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude Code ​

claude mcp add --transport http nativescript https://docs.nativescript.org/mcp

Codex ​

[mcp_servers.nativescript]
url = "https://docs.nativescript.org/mcp"

Other clients ​

Any MCP client supporting the Streamable HTTP transport can connect to the URL directly. For clients that only support stdio servers, bridge with mcp-remote:

npx mcp-remote https://docs.nativescript.org/mcp

API index ​

A compact, machine-readable index of every @nativescript/core API symbol (name, kind, summary, docs URL) is published at:

https://docs.nativescript.org/api-index.json

Tips for agent rules ​

If you use AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md or Cursor rules in your NativeScript projects, a snippet like this helps agents use the docs effectively:

## NativeScript

- Docs: https://docs.nativescript.org (append .md to any URL for markdown)
- Docs index: https://docs.nativescript.org/llms.txt
- MCP server: https://docs.nativescript.org/mcp
- Verify current API signatures via the API reference before writing code:
