Cursor's @Docs is still unparalleled and no MCP server for documentation fetching even comes close. That is the only reason why I still use Cursor, sometimes I have esoteric packages that must be used in my code and other IDEs will simply hallucinate due to not having such a robust docs feature, if any, which is useless to me, and I believe Claude Code also falls into that bucket.
- arresin 1y ago> Cursor's @Docs is still unparalleled and no MCP server for documentation I strongly disagree. It will put the wrong doc snippets into context 99% of the time. If the docs are slightly long then forget it, it’ll be even worse. I never use it because of this.
- satvikpendem 1y agoWhat packages do you use it for? I honestly never had that issue, it's very good in my use cases to find some specific function to call or to figure out some specific syntax.

- satvikpendem 1y agoTried it, doesn't work that great
- robryan 1y agoClaude code can get pretty far simply calling `go doc` on packages.
- satvikpendem 1y agoThat's great for Go, but unfortunately not all languages have such an option.
