Claude Platform Docs MCP: the Claude API reference in your editor

Claude Platform Docs' MCP server lets your AI app search and read the Claude Platform documentation and API reference while you build on the Claude API. ContextGate connects it to Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, so a coding agent can check a parameter against the docs instead of guessing, and each lookup is in Activity.
