## FAQ

### How do I install and run the DocPull MCP server?

Install the MCP extra with pip and run `docpull mcp`, which starts the supported local stdio server. You can also register it with Claude Code using the claude mcp add command.

### Does DocPull need an account or paid API?

No. The default path fetches, extracts, indexes, and diffs locally without an account or paid API.

### Can DocPull detect when sources change?

Yes. Syncing again produces a hash-based diff that shows changed sources while preserving URLs, content hashes, run IDs, and citations.

### What security protections does DocPull have?

It defaults to HTTPS-only fetching with robots.txt compliance, SSRF and DNS rebinding protections, redirect guards, XXE protection, and path-traversal checks.

### How are authenticated sources handled?

Credentials must be supplied through environment-variable references and are not stored in project artifacts.
