--- title: Nue Docs slug: nue-docs docTags: createdAt: 2026-07-07T00:42:27.046Z --- The **Nue Docs MCP** lets AI clients **search and read Nue's own documentation** — the [Nue Knowledge Center](https://docs.nue.io) (product and how-to guides) and the Nue **REST API reference** (this site, `api-docs.nue.io`). Agents can ground their answers and step-by-step actions in Nue's current, published docs instead of relying on model memory. It is one of the three built-in servers behind the [Nue MCP Gateway](docId\:HoEzWAhqtPNyThyko9BIf) and is **on by default** — when you connect to the gateway, its tools are available immediately, no separate setup. :::hint{type="warning"} **Prerequisites** - You connect through the [Nue MCP Gateway](docId\:H6afI-jEH6817eW0vD13w) — one OAuth sign-in covers Nue Docs along with the other built-in servers. - Nue Docs is **read-only** — it searches and retrieves published documentation. It never changes your tenant data. ::: ## What it covers Nue Docs gives your AI assistant access to **two sets of Nue documentation** — the **Nue Knowledge Center** and the **Nue API Reference**. Both work the same way: the assistant first **searches** to find the right articles, then **reads** the full text of the one it needs — so its answers and instructions are grounded in Nue's current, published documentation instead of guesswork. Each set has four tools: a full-text search, a title search, a list, and a "read this document" fetch. ### Nue Knowledge Center — product guides & how-tos The [Nue Knowledge Center](https://docs.nue.io) is Nue's **product documentation** — the guides that admins, RevOps, and finance teams read to learn how Nue works and how to get things done: setting up billing, creating quotes and orders, configuring products and pricing, managing subscriptions and renewals, and more. It's written in plain language for people *using* the Nue app. Point your assistant here for "**how do I…?**" and "**what does this feature do?**" questions. | Tool | What it does | | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `search_knowledge_center` | Full-text search across the Knowledge Center; returns matching documents with IDs. | | `search_knowledge_center_by_title` | Find Knowledge Center documents whose **title** matches a query. | | `list_knowledge_center_docs` | List Knowledge Center documents. | | `get_knowledge_center_doc` | Fetch the full content of one Knowledge Center document (markdown) by its ID. | ### Nue API Reference — endpoints & schemas for developers The **Nue API Reference** (this site, `api-docs.nue.io`) is Nue's **developer documentation** — the exact, technical details of Nue's REST APIs: each endpoint's URL and method, the fields you send in a request, what comes back in the response, and copy-paste code examples. It's written for developers building integrations on top of Nue. Point your assistant here for "**what's the request body for…?**", "**which endpoint does…?**", and other build-time questions. | Tool | What it does | | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `search_api_docs` | Full-text search across the REST API reference — endpoints, request/response schemas, and examples. | | `search_api_docs_by_title` | Find API reference documents whose **title** matches a query. | | `list_api_docs` | List API reference documents. | | `get_api_doc` | Fetch the full content of one API reference document (markdown) by its ID. | :::hint{type="info"} **Two sets of docs, kept separate.** Product and how-to questions are answered from the **Nue Knowledge Center** (for example, *"how do I set up a billing schedule?"*); questions about building with Nue's APIs are answered from the **Nue API Reference** (for example, *"what do I send to create a change order?"*). Keeping the two separate means your assistant always pulls from the right one. ::: :::hint{type="info"} **Tool names through the gateway.** When connected via the Nue MCP Gateway, these tools are namespaced with a `nuedocs_` prefix (for example, `nuedocs_search_knowledge_center`), so they never collide with tools from the other servers. ::: ## Example prompts - *"How do I create a quote with the Nue API?"* → searches the API reference and reads the **Create Quote** page. - *"What are Nue price tags and discount tags?"* → searches the Knowledge Center and summarizes the relevant guide. - *"Show me the request body for a change order."* → finds and reads the **Create Change Order** API page. ## Connect to Nue Docs Nue Docs is built into the [Nue MCP Gateway](docId\:H6afI-jEH6817eW0vD13w) and enabled by default. Connect once to the gateway and Nue Docs' tools are available alongside Nue Lifecycle Manager and Nue Price Builder — no separate endpoint or key. | Nue Environment | MCP Server Endpoint (gateway) | | --------------- | -------------------------------- | | Nue Sandbox | `https://mcp.sandbox.nue.io/mcp` | | Nue Production | `https://mcp.nue.io/mcp` | The recommended way to connect is per-user **OAuth** — you sign in through your browser and the assistant acts as you, with your permissions.
