Updated: 6 Mar 2026
The Notch Manual is available as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. This lets you connect AI assistants — such as Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT — directly to the manual’s content, so they can search and retrieve documentation on your behalf.
Please note: the MCP server is currently in early access and the URL may change in the future. Any changes will be reflected on this page.
The URL for this manual (2026.1) is: https://mcp.us.algolia.com/1/VhovicqMTBa4TRG-YIi2zA/mcp
MCP URLs are specific to a certain Notch major version. Make sure to use the URL that corresponds to the version you’re using.
