The Narrative Knowledge Base MCP server lets an AI agent search the Narrative documentation, guides, API reference, and NQL syntax — and answer questions with citations to the source material. It is a public, read-only server with no authentication, so you can add it to any MCP client alongside the Data Collaboration MCP server. For background on the Model Context Protocol, see Data Collaboration MCP Server overview.

When to use it

Pair this server with the Data Collaboration MCP server so your agent can both act on your data and explain how the platform works. Common patterns:
  • The agent hits an unfamiliar NQL function and queries the docs to find correct syntax before retrying.
  • A user asks “how do access rules work?” — the agent answers with citations instead of guessing.
  • The agent is drafting a workflow and looks up task-specific reference material on the fly.

Setup

Add the server to your MCP client the same way you would the Data Collaboration server — see Connecting to the Narrative MCP Server for client-specific instructions. Use the URL above and skip the OAuth step (no authentication is required). For example, in Claude Code: 
claude mcp add --transport http narrative-knowledge-base https://docs.narrative.io/mcp
Or in a JSON config: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "narrative-knowledge-base": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://docs.narrative.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}
