Generate clean markdown documentation for your code — one file, or up to 20 in one batch.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

writulos-mcp
Official MCP server for Writulos Scribe — generate markdown documentation for your code inside Cursor, Claude Desktop, and any MCP-compatible AI agent.
Installation
No install needed. Run directly with npx:
npx writulos-mcp
Or install globally:
npm install -g writulos-mcp
Setup in Cursor
Add this to .cursor/mcp.json in your project root:
{
"mcpServers": {
"writulos": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "writulos-mcp"],
"env": {
"WRITULOS_API_KEY": "writ_YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}
Restart Cursor. Then in the AI chat, ask:
Document all the files in this project using writulos
The generated docs come back in the chat — ask Cursor to save them wherever you
keep documentation. The server itself only writes a run log to
docs/writulos.log (set WRITULOS_OUTPUT_DIR to move it), recording each run
and how many generations you have left this month.
Setup in Claude Code, Claude Desktop and other clients
Use the same command, args and env as the Cursor config above. Whichever
way the client adds the server, give it WRITULOS_API_KEY: without the key the
server still starts, and every tool call answers with where to get one.
Usage and limits
Each file documented uses one generation from your Writulos plan's monthly allowance, the same allowance the dashboard and the GitHub Action draw on. When it runs out, the tools say so and when it resets.
