MCP Docs & llms.txt

Access ZenML documentation via MCP server or llms.txt

About llms.txt

The llms.txt file format was proposed by llmstxt.org as a standard way to provide information to help LLMs answer questions about a product/website. From their website:

We propose adding a /llms.txt markdown file to websites to provide LLM-friendly content. This file offers brief background information, guidance, and links to detailed markdown files. llms.txt markdown is human and LLM readable, but is also in a precise format allowing fixed processing methods (i.e. classical programming techniques such as parsers and regex).

ZenML's llms.txt

ZenML's documentation is now made available to LLMs at the following link:

https://docs.zenml.io/llms.txt

This file contains a comprehensive summary of the ZenML documentation (containing links and descriptions) that LLMs can use to answer questions about ZenML's features, functionality, and usage.

How to use the llms.txt file

When working with LLMs (like ChatGPT, Claude, or others), you can use this file to help the model provide more accurate answers about ZenML:

• Point the LLM to the docs.zenml.io/llms.txt URL when asking questions about ZenML

• While prompting, instruct the LLM to only provide answers based on information contained in the file to avoid hallucinations

• For best results, use models with sufficient context window to process the entire file

Use llms-full.txt for complete documentation context

The llms-full.txt file contains the entire ZenML documentation in a single, concatenated markdown file optimized for LLMs. Use it when you want to load all docs as context at once (for example, a one-shot grounding pass) rather than querying individual pages. Access it here: https://docs.zenml.io/llms-full.txt. For interactive, selective queries from your IDE, the built-in MCP server is still the recommended option.

Use the built-in GitBook MCP server (recommended)

ZenML docs are also exposed through a native GitBook MCP server that IDE agents can query in real time.

• Endpoint: https://docs.zenml.io/~gitbook/mcp

Quick setup

Claude Code (VS Code)

Run the following command in your terminal to add the server:

claude mcp add zenmldocs --transport http https://docs.zenml.io/~gitbook/mcp

Cursor

Add the server via Cursor's JSON settings (Settings → search "MCP" → Configure via JSON):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zenmldocs": {
      "transport": {
        "type": "http",
        "url": "https://docs.zenml.io/~gitbook/mcp"
      }
    }
  }
}

Why use it

• Live doc queries directly from your IDE agent

• Syntax-aware, source-of-truth answers with fewer hallucinations

• Faster feature discovery across guides, APIs, and examples

The MCP server indexes the latest released documentation, not the develop branch.

Prefer the native GitBook MCP server above for the best experience; if you prefer working directly with llms.txt or need alternative workflows, the following tools are helpful:

To use the llms.txt file in partnership with an MCP client, you can use the following tools:

• GitMCP - A way to quickly create an MCP server for a github repository (e.g. for zenml-io/zenml)

• mcp-llms - This shows how to use an MCP server to iteratively explore the llms.txt file with your MCP client

• mcp-llms-txt-explorer - A tool to help you explore and discover websites that have llms.txt files
