# Orchestrate Documentation MCP Server

## What is the documentation MCP Server?

The watsonx Orchestrate Documentation MCP Server acts as a second standalone MCP server that exposes a tool for searching watsonx  Orchestrate documentation.
This feature becomes powerful when you combine it with the main watsonx Orchestrate MCP server and an [MCP Client](/mcp_server/wxOmcp_integration)
With this setup, agentic MCP clients check documentation to learn up-to-date information about resource types, spec file structure, and other idiosyncrasies of the watsonx Orchestrate platform.

## Connecting to the Orchestrate Documentation MCP Server

The watsonx Orchestrate Documentation MCP Server runs as a remote MCP server using `streamablehttp` at this address: [https://developer.watson-orchestrate.ibm.com/mcp](https://developer.watson-orchestrate.ibm.com/mcp).
