| title: Fern's MCP server | ||||||
| description: Connect your coding agent to Fern's MCP server to look up docs.yml syntax, CLI commands, and your organization's live data. To give your readers an MCP server for your docs site, see the MCP server for your site page. | ||||||

|
|
||||||
| Fern hosts a private [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server for your organization, with full context on Fern's documentation and configuration alongside your live Fern data. Register it with your coding agent to look up `docs.yml` syntax, components, and CLI commands while you build, and to read your sites, deployments, and reader activity without leaving your terminal. | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| **There are two Fern MCP servers.** This page covers the MCP server for *you* — the person building the docs site. It gives your coding agent access to Fern's product documentation and your organization's live data. If you want to give *your readers* an MCP server that answers questions about your product, see [MCP server for your site](/learn/docs/ai-features/mcp-server). | ||||||

| That is a different server — see [MCP server for your site](/learn/docs/ai-features/mcp-server). It is automatically generated for every docs site with Ask Fern enabled. No configuration is needed to turn it on. | ||||||

| <Accordion title="Is Fern's MCP server a separate paid add-on?"> | ||||||
| No. Fern's MCP server (this page) is available to all Fern users at no extra charge. The [MCP server for your site](/learn/docs/ai-features/mcp-server) (for your readers) uses Ask Fern under the hood and consumes AI credits, which are included in every plan. | ||||||
