Getting Started

Coding with LLMs

Integrate Zep's documentation directly into your AI coding workflow using llms.txt and MCP.

Zep provides tools that give AI coding assistants direct access to Zep’s documentation: a real-time MCP server and standardized llms.txt files for enhanced code generation and troubleshooting.

MCP Server

Zep’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) server gives AI assistants real-time access to search Zep’s complete documentation.

Server details:

  • URL: docs-mcp.getzep.com
  • Type: Search-based with SSE transport
  • Capabilities: Real-time documentation search and retrieval

Setting up the MCP server

Add the SSE server using the CLI:

$claude mcp add --transport sse zep-docs docs-mcp.getzep.com

Using the MCP server

Once configured, AI assistants can automatically:

  • Search Zep concepts and features
  • Find code examples and tutorials
  • Access current API documentation
  • Retrieve troubleshooting information

llms.txt

Zep publishes standardized llms.txt files containing essential information for AI coding assistants:

  • Core concepts and architecture
  • Usage patterns and examples
  • API reference summaries
  • Best practices and troubleshooting
  • Framework integration examples

Accessing llms.txt

Zep provides two versions of the llms.txt file:

Standard version (recommended for most use cases):

https://help.getzep.com/llms.txt

Comprehensive version (for advanced use cases):

https://help.getzep.com/llms-full.txt

The standard version contains curated essentials, while the comprehensive version includes complete documentation but is much larger. Most AI assistants work better with the standard version due to context limitations.
