Connect Claude Code to Apryse docs

Bring Apryse SDK documentation into your Claude Code workflows.

This guide explains how to connect Claude Code CLI to a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes published Apryse docs. After configuring the connection, Claude Code can access your documentation directly and use it to answer questions, retrieve information, and assist with documentation-related tasks.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure to:

• Obtain a paid Claude Code subscription.
• Install Claude Code CLI using these get-started instructions.
• Sign in to your Claude Code account.

Info: This guide uses the Claude Code terminal CLI. Learn about other ways to use Claude Code.

1. Add the MCP server

First, add the MCP server to Claude Code and verify the connection. See the Claude Code MCP quickstart for more.

1

Open your terminal.

2

Add the MCP server:

Shell

claude mcp add apryse-docs --scope user --transport http https://docs.apryse.com/~gitbook/mcp

Claude Code may ask you to approve MCP requests or commands. Review each request before allowing it. Some clients can save your approval preference for future requests.

• apryse-docs is the local name that Claude Code uses to identify the server.
• You can replace apryse-docs as you prefer. It doesn't need to match the site name.
• This server supports HTTP only. Don't use stdio or sse. Configure with --transport http.

3

Launch Claude Code:

Shell

claude

If prompted, sign in and complete browser authentication. Subsequent launches typically open directly in your terminal.

4

Verify that the server was added successfully:

Shell

claude mcp list

Successful output:

Shell

Checking MCP server health...

apryse-docs: https://docs.apryse.com/~gitbook/mcp (HTTP) - ✔ Connected

apryse-docs is connected and healthy.

2. Try a sample prompt

Ask Claude Code questions about the documentation content the MCP server exposes.

Build an implementation

How do I edit Microsoft Word documents in a web application using the Apryse DOCX Editor?

Update an implementation

How do I add document annotations to my existing WebViewer integration?

Build an implementation

How do I convert Microsoft Office documents to PDF using the Apryse Server SDK?

3. Remove the MCP server

These steps are optional and remove the Apryse documentation MCP server.

1

Remove the configured MCP server:

Shell

claude mcp remove apryse-docs

2

Check that the MCP server is no longer configured:

Shell

claude mcp list

Troubleshooting

Claude Code cannot find or connect to the MCP server.

• Verify that the MCP server URL is correct.
• Run the claude mcp add command again.
• Confirm that the MCP server supports HTTP transport.
• Don't use stdio or sse transport types.
• Complete any required authentication when prompted.

Claude Code cannot access documentation content.

• Confirm that the documentation has been published.
• Verify that the MCP server has access to the documentation content.
• Verify that your account has permission to access the documentation.

Claude Code doesn't return the expected results.

• Verify that the content exists in the published documentation.
• Try a more specific prompt.
• Ask Claude Code to search for a specific topic or page.
• Confirm that the content is available through the MCP server.

Claude Code prompts for approval repeatedly.

• Review and approve the requested action.
• If available, choose the option to remember your approval preferences.
• Verify that your approval settings haven't been reset.
• Restart Claude Code and try again.
