`search_docs`

Pack: devdocs-io · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/devdocs-io/mcp

Find which documentation SETS exist whose NAME matches a substring (e.g. “python” → Python 3.x, “react” → React). Returns doc SETS, NOT their content — this does NOT look up a function/method/API name. To search inside a doc for an entry like “Array.map” or “fetch”, use search_index (slug + query).

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	yes	Substring of a documentation-set name, e.g. “javascript”, “postgres”.
