The Thanx Docs MCP Server enables you to search and interact with the entire Thanx API documentation using natural language through AI tools like Claude Code.

​
Features

  • Natural Language Search: Find API endpoints, parameters, and examples using plain English
  • Instant Answers: Get quick responses about authentication, rate limits, and best practices
  • Code Examples: Request code samples in any programming language
  • Context-Aware Help: The AI understands the relationships between different API endpoints

​
Installation

The easiest way to use the Thanx documentation MCP server is to connect to our hosted remote server. This requires no local installation and provides instant access.

​
For Claude Code

Add to your project’s .mcp.json file: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thanx-docs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://docs.mcp.thanx.com/",
      "description": "Thanx Docs MCP server for searching and interacting Thanx API Docs"
    }
  }
}
or install this for your user: 
claude mcp add thanx-docs https://docs.mcp.thanx.com/ --transport http

​
Option 2: Local Installation (Fallback)

If you prefer to run the MCP server locally or cannot connect to the remote server, you can install it on your machine.

​
For Claude Code

Claude Code users have two local installation options:
Global Installation
# Install the MCP server globally
npm install -g @mintlify/mcp

# Follow the instructions to add it to Claude Code via project `.mcp.json`
npx mint-mcp add docs.thanx.com --client claude

​
For Other MCP Clients

If you’re using a different MCP-compatible client, refer to your client’s documentation for adding servers. The server command is: 
npx mint-mcp add docs.thanx.com

​
Usage Examples

Once installed, you can ask questions like:
  • “How do I authenticate with the Thanx API?”
  • “Show me how to create a new user with the Consumer API”
  • “What are the rate limits for the Partner API?”
  • “Generate Python code to fetch a user’s rewards”
  • “Explain the difference between the Consumer and Partner APIs”

​
Configuration

The documentation MCP server requires no additional configuration. It automatically:
  • Indexes all public documentation at docs.thanx.com
  • Updates when documentation changes
  • Provides search across all API sections
