Contributing to Gobi with Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Use the Gobi Docs MCP to write cookbooks, guides, and documentation with AI-powered workflows.
What You'll Build
Master using the Gobi Docs MCP to contribute documentation, create cookbooks, and maintain consistency across Gobi’s docs - all through natural language prompts.
Cookbooks show how to use Gobi CLI with specific tools or services. Here’s how to create one using the Gobi Docs MCP:
1
Research Existing Cookbooks
Copy
cn --config gourmand/docs-mintlify
Prompt:
Copy
"Show me the structure of existing MCP cookbooks in the Gobi docs.I want to create a cookbook for GitHub MCP."
The agent will find examples like the dlt, Snyk, and Sanity cookbooks.
2
Source Official Documentation
Prompt:
Copy
"Using the Gobi Docs MCP, find information about how GitHub MCP works.Then search the web for the official GitHub MCP documentation and combineboth sources to create a cookbook following the same structure as thedlt cookbook."
The agent will:
Search Gobi docs for MCP patterns
Fetch GitHub MCP official documentation
Combine both sources
Generate a cookbook with consistent formatting
3
Add to Navigation
Prompt:
Copy
"Add my new github-mcp-gobi-cookbook.mdx to the docs.json navigationunder the Cookbooks section."
4
Preview and Iterate
Copy
npm run dev# Visit http://localhost:3000
Refine with prompts:
Copy
"Add more examples to the troubleshooting section""Include a CI/CD workflow example using GitHub Actions""Add authentication setup using environment variables"
Pro Tip: The agent uses the Gobi Docs MCP to maintain consistency with existing cookbooks automatically.
"Where is the MCP tools documentation located? Show me the file path."
2
Make Targeted Updates
Prompt:
Copy
"Update the MCP tools documentation at docs/customization/mcp-tools.mdxto include information about the new Slack MCP server. Use the GobiDocs MCP to find examples of how other MCP servers are documented, thenadd a similar section for Slack."
"I want to create a guide for setting up Gobi with Amazon Bedrock.Search the Gobi docs for similar model provider setup guides andshow me the common structure they follow."
2
Create the Guide
Prompt:
Copy
"Create a new guide at docs/guides/amazon-bedrock-setup.mdx followingthe structure you found. Include:- Prerequisites- Step-by-step setup with code examples- Configuration options- Troubleshooting common issuesUse the Gobi Docs MCP to find accurate information about Gobi'smodel provider configuration."
3
Add Navigation Entry
Prompt:
Copy
"Add this guide to docs.json under the Model Providers section"
"Create a cookbook for using Gobi with PostgreSQL MCP. Follow the samestructure as the dlt cookbook, but customize it for database operations.Include these sections:1. Quick start with pre-built agent2. Manual setup with MCP configuration3. Common database tasks (schema exploration, query writing, migrations)4. Troubleshooting database connection issuesUse the Gobi Docs MCP to find MCP configuration patterns and search theweb for PostgreSQL MCP documentation."
"Create a cookbook showing how to use Gobi to analyze Sentry errors.The cookbook should demonstrate:1. Setting up Sentry MCP integration2. Querying recent errors3. Analyzing error patterns with AI4. Generating fixes for common errors5. CI/CD integration for automated error analysisResearch the Snyk cookbook structure since it's also about error detection,and adapt it for Sentry."
"I want to create a cookbook for using Gobi to work with OpenAPI specs.Show how to:1. Load OpenAPI specs into Gobi's context2. Generate API client code from specs3. Create tests based on API endpoints4. Update documentation when APIs changeUse the Gobi Docs MCP to find how context providers work, then combinethat with OpenAPI MCP information."
"Use the Gobi Docs MCP to understand how agentswork in Gobi, then search the web for Anthropic'sComputer Use MCP. Create a cookbook showing how tocombine Gobi agents with Computer Use forautomated testing."
Cross-Reference Documentation
Copy
"Find all mentions of MCP servers across Gobidocumentation. Then create a comprehensive referencepage that links to all MCP-related guides andconfigurations."
Consistency Checking
Copy
"Review all cookbook files in docs/guides/ and checkif they follow the same structure. List anyinconsistencies and suggest updates to make themuniform."
Example Extraction
Copy
"Extract all code examples showing MCP serverconfiguration from the Gobi docs. Format themas a single reference page with explanations foreach pattern."
# Check formatting"Review this documentation for Mintlify formatting issues and fix any problems"# Verify links"Check all links in this file and ensure they point to existing documentation"# Test code examples"Verify that all code examples in this cookbook are syntactically correct"
