Getting support

Whether you're troubleshooting an issue, looking for guidance, or need help with your ToolHive deployment, there are several ways to get support. This page outlines the available resources to help you find answers quickly.

Self-help resources​

Documentation​

This documentation site is your first stop for help. You can search using keywords or ask questions using AI-powered search:

  • Keyword search: Use the search bar at the top of the page to find specific topics, commands, or configuration options.
  • AI search: Type a question in the search and select the Ask AI option to get relevant answers from the documentation.

ToolHive documentation MCP server​

For an enhanced documentation experience, you can use the ToolHive documentation search MCP server. This server provides access to the ToolHive documentation directly within your AI-powered tools, making it easy to get context-aware help while you work.

ToolHive offers two ways to access the documentation server:

  • toolhive-doc-mcp-remote (recommended): A hosted remote MCP server that's always up-to-date with the latest documentation.
  • toolhive-doc-mcp: A containerized local version you can run on your machine.

Both versions are available in the ToolHive registry. The toolhive-doc-mcp source code is available on GitHub.

tip

Once you've added the ToolHive documentation MCP server, you can ask your AI assistant questions like "How do I configure ToolHive?" or "What are the available commands?" and get answers directly from the documentation.

Using with the ToolHive UI​

  1. Open the ToolHive UI application.
  2. Open the Registry page.
  3. Search for toolhive-doc to find both versions.
  4. Select toolhive-doc-mcp-remote (recommended) or toolhive-doc-mcp (local).
  5. Review the pre-filled configuration and click Install server to start the MCP server.

The server will appear on the MCP Servers page with a "Running" status. The documentation is now available to your connected AI clients.

See the Run MCP servers guide for more details.

Using with the ToolHive CLI​

To run the hosted remote version (recommended):

thv run toolhive-doc-mcp-remote

Or to run the local containerized version:

Once started, the documentation will be available to any AI clients registered with ToolHive. To verify the server is running:
