Usage

With Claude Desktop

Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop MCP settings:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "angular-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["angular-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

With VSCode (Cline)

Add to your Cline MCP settings: ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "angular-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["angular-mcp-server"],
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

With Amazon Q for command line

Amazon Q CLI supports MCP servers through configuration. Add this to your MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "angular-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["angular-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Once configured, you can interact with Angular documentation directly through Amazon Q:

# Start Amazon Q chat with MCP support
q chat

# Example queries you can ask:
# "Search for Angular component lifecycle methods"
# "Show me dependency injection examples"
# "How do I implement reactive forms?"
# "List all Angular documentation categories"

Amazon Q will automatically use the Angular MCP Server to provide comprehensive Angular documentation and code examples.

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only restates the purpose and does not describe any behavioral traits such as return format, error handling, authentication needs, or limitations. This is insufficient for a tool with no annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is one concise sentence that immediately states the action and target. There is no fluff or redundancy, making it appropriately sized and effective.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The tool is simple with one parameter and no output schema, but the description lacks important context such as what the output looks like, any prerequisites, and how it differs from siblings like search_angular_docs. It is adequate but leaves gaps in completeness.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The schema description covers the sole parameter 'concept' with an example list, achieving 100% coverage. The tool description adds no extra parameter semantics beyond what the schema already provides, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool finds code examples and practical implementations for Angular concepts, using a specific verb and resource. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like search_angular_docs or get_angular_overview, which target different purposes.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage: it finds examples for Angular concepts. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives, nor does it provide exclusions or criteria for when not to use it. Usage guidance is only implied, not explicit.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

get_angular_overviewB

Get a comprehensive overview of Angular framework and its features

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

B3/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations provided, the description must fully disclose behavioral traits, but it does not mention what the overview includes, output format, or any side effects. It only states a generic purpose, offering no additional behavioral context.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence with no redundant words, making it concise. However, it is also under-specified, which limits the value of that conciseness.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The tool is simple (no params, no output schema), but the description lacks context about what 'overview' actually returns or how it differs from get_angular_topic. It is not complete enough for an agent to understand the tool's full capabilities or expectations.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool has zero parameters, so the schema is fully covered. The description does not need to explain parameters. Baseline for 0 parameters is 4, and no additional parameter context is required.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses a clear verb (Get) and resource (Angular framework overview), distinguishing it from sibling tools like search, topic, categories, and examples. However, 'comprehensive overview' is somewhat vague and could be more specific about what content is covered.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as get_angular_topic or find_angular_examples. There are no exclusions or explicit context for selecting this tool.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

get_angular_topicC

Get detailed information about a specific Angular topic

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
topicYesSpecific topic name (e.g., "Component lifecycle", "Signals overview")

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It only says 'Get detailed information', which is the basic function. It doesn't disclose whether this is a read-only operation, what the response structure looks like, edge cases (e.g., unknown topic), or any side effects. For a tool with no annotation support, this is insufficient.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, direct sentence with no fluff. It is concise and front-loaded with the verb. However, it could be slightly more structured to include return value details without becoming verbose.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

There is no output schema, so the description should explain what 'detailed information' includes or how the result is presented. It does not. With one parameter and no output schema, the description is not enough for an agent to understand what to expect from a call, despite being a simple getter.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema fully covers the single parameter 'topic' with a clear example ("Component lifecycle", "Signals overview"). Schema description coverage is 100%, so the description adds no additional parameter semantics. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema carries the burden.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: to get detailed information about a specific Angular topic. The word 'specific' differentiates it from the sibling get_angular_overview, which likely covers broader/all topics, and from search/find/list siblings. However, it doesn't specify what kind of 'detailed information' is included, leaving some ambiguity.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No usage guidance or when-to-use versus alternatives is provided. The description implies a scenario (needing details on a specific topic) but never explicitly distinguishes from search_angular_docs, find_angular_examples, or get_angular_overview. An agent would have to infer when this tool is the right choice.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

No parameters

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'List', implying a non-destructive read, but does not mention return format, pagination, scope limits, or any other behavioral traits. It adds minimal context beyond the action itself.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence, front-loaded with the verb and resource, and contains no superfluous words. Every word adds value.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple list tool with no parameters and no output schema, the description is sufficient to convey the action and scope. It could mention the output shape, but given the simplicity, the single sentence covers the essential purpose. Sibling tools provide context for comparison.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool has zero parameters, so there is no need for the description to explain parameter meanings. Baseline for 0 params is 4, and the description does not need to compensate for any schema gaps.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses a specific verb ('List') and a clear resource ('all available Angular documentation categories'), distinguishing it from sibling tools that search, fetch topics, or find examples. The scope is unambiguous.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It simply states what it does without mentioning any context, exclusions, or relationships to sibling tools like search_angular_docs or get_angular_overview.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

search_angular_docsB

Search Angular documentation for specific topics, concepts, or keywords

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
limitNoMaximum number of results to return (default: 5)
queryYesSearch query (e.g., "components", "dependency injection", "routing")
categoryNoOptional: Filter by category (Components, Templates, Directives, etc.)

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavior. It only says 'search' without explaining result format, ordering, pagination, or error handling. The description does not contradict any annotations (since none exist), but it offers minimal transparency.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence, highly concise and readable. It conveys the core purpose without unnecessary detail.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the lack of output schema and annotations, the description is thin. It does not clarify what results look like, how to interpret them, or how to refine searches. For a tool with 3 parameters and no output schema, this is incomplete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema has 100% coverage with descriptions for all three parameters. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond the schema. It mentions 'topics, concepts, or keywords' which aligns with the query parameter example, but doesn't enrich understanding.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's function: searching Angular documentation for topics, concepts, or keywords. The verb 'search' distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'get' and 'list', which imply retrieval of specific items or categories.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus the sibling tools. It does not mention alternatives or exclusions. The user must infer that search is for open-ended queries, but no explicit direction is given.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Each tool targets a distinct kind of Angular documentation access: searching broadly, retrieving topic details, listing categories, getting an overview, and finding examples. Search and find_examples could overlap slightly, but their descriptions clarify broad versus example-specific lookup, so confusion is unlikely.

Naming Consistency5/5

Tool names follow a consistent verb_angular_noun pattern: search/get/list/find all pair with clear object nouns. The two 'get' tools are distinguishable by their object (topic vs overview), and no mixed naming conventions appear.

Tool Count5/5

Five tools is well-scoped for a documentation-focused server, providing essential access patterns without bloat. The count feels right for the stated purpose.

Completeness4/5

The surface covers search, detail retrieval, category navigation, overview, and examplesβ€”covering the main ways users interact with Angular docs. A minor gap is lack of a tool to list topics within a specific category, but the core workflows are supported.
