Introducing the Developer Knowledge API and MCP Server

Google announces the public preview of the Developer Knowledge API and an official MCP server to give AI assistants real-time access to Google's official developer documentation.

• •The Developer Knowledge API provides programmatic access to documentation from firebase.google.com, developer.android.com, and docs.cloud.google.com as Markdown.
• •Documentation is re-indexed within 24 hours of updates, ensuring AI tools always have the latest content.
• •The MCP server connects to IDEs and AI assistants via the Model Context Protocol open standard, enabling document search and retrieval at query time.
• •Developers can enable it via Google Cloud CLI: gcloud beta services mcp enable developerknowledge.googleapis.com.
• •Future plans include structured content (code samples, API reference entities) and expanded corpus coverage.
