## Features

- Get documentation for Julia packages, modules, types, functions, and methods
- View source code for Julia functions, types, and methods
- Built-in caching with 5-minute TTL
- Proper error handling for Julia-specific errors

## Tools

### `get-doc`
Gets Julia documentation for a package, module, type, function, or method.
- Parameter: `path` (string) - Path to Julia object (e.g., 'Base.sort', 'AbstractArray')

### `get-source`
Gets Julia source code for a function, type, or method.
- Parameter: `path` (string) - Path to Julia object (e.g., 'Base.sort', 'AbstractArray')

## Requirements

- Node.js 16 or higher
- Julia 1.9 or higher installed and accessible in PATH
- Claude Desktop

## Configuration

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration (`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "juliadoc": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@jonathanfischer97/server-juliadoc"
      ],
      "env": {
        "JULIA_PROJECT": "/path/to/your/julia/project"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

The server will use:
- Your specified Julia project if `JULIA_PROJECT` is set in the config
- The default global Julia environment if no project is specified
- Your system's default Julia installation (must be accessible in PATH)
