Would you consider adding an MCP server for the Handsontable docs? It would make AI-assisted development and quick prototyping much easier, and reduce friction for new developers trying to learn the library. Another grid library I tried recently had one, and it let me build the same prototype in less than half the time compared to Handsontable.
Hi @borosmate92
Thank you for contacting us. Currently we don’t have plans for such implementation.
Hi @borosmate92 , I took a shot at building a simple MCP server for the Handsontable docs. Would you be interested in testing it out?
It provides tools for searching the Handsontable docs, listing all the topics, and fetching a page as Markdown. You can clone the repo and run the MCP server locally, then connect with Claude Desktop to test it out.
Please let me know if you run into any issues! And I’d love to hear any feedback about how the code generation compares with previous attempts before using the MCP server.
Hi @borosmate92 I wanted to follow up and check whether you had a chance to test what my colleague added based on your suggestion.
I spent some time trying it out myself, and I have to say that it works really well. Your example was genuinely inspiring, and it got me thinking more broadly about how we could make the Handsontable documentation easier and faster to work with, especially for first-time users and AI-assisted prototyping.
I’ve started putting together a few notes and ideas in that direction, and I’d love to continue the conversation if you’re open to it. Your perspective as someone who actively prototypes with these tools is super valuable to us.
Curious to hear your thoughts when you have a moment.
