aserper-rtfd is a Claude Code plugin that connects your agent to the local RTFD MCP server for up-to-date multi-ecosystem documentation without cloud API keys.
About
aserper-rtfd packages the RTFD (real-time documentation) MCP server as a Claude Code plugin so developers can pull current package and library docs while implementing features. The pain it solves is stale training data and expensive or key-gated doc clouds: RTFD runs locally, needs no vendor API key for its core story, and exposes documentation across common registries and hubs named in the project. Use it during Build whenever you touch unfamiliar SDKs, containers, or multi-language dependencies. It is an integration layer, not a brainstorming or SEO tool. Setup expects you to run the MCP server on your machine and point Claude Code at it. Intermediate comfort with MCP config helps; beginners can still start with the README wiring. Delivers more grounded codegen and fewer wrong method signatures when the agent can fetch real docs on demand.
- Local MCP server feeds up-to-date documentation without cloud doc services or API keys
- Covers multiple ecosystems: npm, PyPI, crates.io, Docker Hub, GitHub, Go docs, and GCP-related sources per project keywo
- Runs on your machine for privacy and offline-friendly doc retrieval patterns
- Single-plugin bundle focused on spoonfeeding accurate library context to the coding agent
- Reduces hallucinated APIs when you integrate third-party packages

What it does
Install when you need fresh library and package documentation inside Claude Code without cloud doc APIs or paid keys, via a local RTFD MCP server.
Who is it for?
Privacy-conscious developers integrating many packages who want a self-hosted doc MCP instead of guessing or pasting docs manually.
Skip if: Skip if you forbid local MCP servers, need only one static PDF spec, or want managed cloud doc search with enterprise SSO.
What you get
After you register the plugin and run RTFD locally, Claude Code can query fresh documentation on your machine so integrations match real library behavior.
- RTFD MCP server running locally and linked via the plugin
- On-demand doc retrieval across supported ecosystems during coding
- Reduced API hallucination on third-party library usage
By the numbers
- Plugin bundle contains 1 plugin in catalog metadata
- Source repository: aserper/RTFD
- Documented positioning: local execution without API key requirements for core RTFD usage

FAQ
Who is Aserper Rtfd for?
It is for developers using Claude Code or compatible agents who want realtime library documentation from local MCP without API key subscriptions.
When should I use Aserper Rtfd?
Use it during Build when implementing features that depend on npm, PyPI, Rust crates, Docker images, or other registry-hosted libraries you do not know by heart.
How do I add Aserper Rtfd to my agent?
Install the plugin from aserper/RTFD, start the RTFD MCP server on your machine per the repo instructions, and add the server endpoint to Claude Code’s MCP configuration.
