Support for Offline Documentation in Air-Gapped Environments

[shohamyamin]

I would like to request support for retrieving library documentation without requiring internet access. Currently, it seems that the MCP still attempts to fetch documentation from the internet, which prevents it from functioning properly in air-gapped environments.

This functionality is critical for use cases involving secure or isolated systems, where internet access is restricted or unavailable. It would be helpful to have a way to pre-download or bundle the necessary documentation so that MCP can operate fully offline.

If there's already a way to configure this, I may have missed it—please advise. Otherwise, I believe this feature would greatly benefit teams working in secure or restricted environments.

good vision. but honestly, a long term one, after saas based enterprise adoption

Isn't the local installation method supposed to work that way?

I thought it would eventually prefetch docs, or download library code lazily and cache it locally.

Open source for the client but managed service for the server side is the new norm.

I think this will block Enterprise Adoption not having it. We are not allowed to enable websearching or even internet in some of our environments - having this off-line / airgap capability would mean that we could use this to cover the knowledge cutoff problem we have right now - without it we cant even install it
