Aserper Rtfd
aserper-rtfd is a Claude Code plugin for the Build phase that connects your agent to the local RTFD MCP server for up-to-date multi-ecosystem documentation without cloud API keys.
by aserper · github.com/aserper/RTFD
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.
Add it to Claude Code
Install the plugin in Claude Code. One command, paste-ready.
/plugin install aserper-rtfd@aserper/RTFDBuilt to be called by your agent
Skillselion is itself an MCP server. Your agent can pull this entry and a paste-ready install config straight from the API - no copy-paste.
Retrieve this entry with skillselion.get_details("plugin:aserper/RTFD") and the paste-ready config with skillselion.get_install_config("plugin:aserper/RTFD").
What it does
aserper-rtfd packages the RTFD (real-time documentation) MCP server as a Claude Code plugin so solo builders 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.
Highlights
- 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
Why builders use it
Coding agents guess outdated APIs because they cannot reach current npm, PyPI, crates, or registry docs without paid or cloud-only services.
After you register the plugin and run RTFD locally, Claude Code can query fresh documentation on your machine so integrations match real library behavior.

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.
