Google Opens Machine-Readable Docs Access with the Developer Knowledge API and MCP Server

Google released a public preview that makes select official documentation available programmatically in Markdown. Updates to the underlying docs are re-indexed within 24 hours during the preview.

Google released a public preview of the Developer Knowledge API plus an official MCP server with documentation updates re-indexed within 24 hours.

The Developer Knowledge API serves official documentation content in Markdown, covering Firebase, Android, and Google Cloud.
An official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server lets AI assistants and IDEs search and retrieve that documentation programmatically.
During the preview, the re-indexing window is up to 24 hours after changes land in the source documentation.
The service can be enabled via the Google Cloud CLI using the gcloud beta services mcp command group.
