garmin-documentation

This MCP server provides offline access to the Garmin Connect IQ 8.2.3 documentation. It exposes a set of Core API tools for searching, inspecting modules and classes, listing modules, and retrieving code examples, along with New Documentation Tools for device references, programming guides, and FAQs. With this server, you can perform semantic searches, drill into module or class details with corrected version context, view programming guides, and quickly locate device-specific capabilities such as memory limits and round-device support. Once running, you can query Claude-based clients to discover API coverage, examples, and troubleshooting resources without needing internet access.

Prerequisites:

• Node.js (recommended LTS version)
• Access to the Garmin Connect IQ documentation set (8.2.3) to place under docs/ at the project root

Steps:

1. Clone or download this repository
2. Copy the Garmin Connect IQ SDK 8.2.3 documentation into a docs/ folder at the project root
3. Install dependencies:

npm install

4. Build the project:

npm run build

5. Run the server (production):

npm start

6. Optional: run in development mode:

npm run dev

Note: On first run the server will index all documentation files. This may take a few seconds; subsequent runs are faster.

Tips:

• Ensure the docs/ folder is populated with the 8.2.3 documentation before starting the server for proper indexing.
• The Claude integration examples assume the server is accessible at the configured path; update the path in Claude config accordingly.
• Environment variables can influence behavior: GARMIN_DOCS_PATH defines where docs are read from, LOG_LEVEL controls verbosity.
• If you see version mapping issues, verify you are using the v1.0.1-enabled server build which fixed API Level to SDK version mapping.
• For production deployments, consider setting a persistent process manager (e.g., PM2) and configuring proper restart behavior on crashes.
