OpenClaw Docs MCP indexes the OpenClaw documentation into PostgreSQL using pgvector and exposes powerful hybrid search tools via HTTP using FastMCP.

✨ Key Features

• 🧠 Hybrid Search: Combines semantic (pgvector) and full-text search across ~721 English documentation pages.
• 🛠️ 13 MCP Tools: Fully equipped with search, get_chunk, navigation (next/prev), page outlines, and index statistics.
• ⚡ HTTP Transport: Exposed securely over HTTP with API key authentication.
• 🔄 Incremental Sync: Smart content-hash syncing to avoid redundant updates.
• ⚙️ Production Ready: Includes systemd service files and an optional daily sync timer.

📋 Requirements

• Python: 3.11+
• Database: PostgreSQL 15+ with the pgvector extension.
• AI: OpenAI API key (for embedding generation using text-embedding-3-small).
