How It Works
Dfns documentation is automatically optimized for AI consumption through the Model Context Protocol (MCP)—an open standard that lets AI tools search and retrieve documentation content. When you connect an AI tool to our MCP serverhttps://docs.dfns.co/mcp, it gains the ability to:
- Search across all Dfns documentation
- Retrieve relevant pages based on your questions
- Access the latest content (not stale training data)
