Overview
- The API offers programmatic search and retrieval of Google developer documentation as Markdown across Firebase, Android, and Google Cloud sites.
- During the preview period, documentation updates are re-indexed within 24 hours to keep responses current.
- An official MCP server lets IDEs and AI assistants access this corpus using the open Model Context Protocol.
- Getting started involves creating a restricted API key in a Google Cloud project, enabling the service with a gcloud beta MCP command, and updating tool configuration.
- Google outlines a roadmap to add structured content, broaden the indexed corpus, and reduce indexing latency before general availability.
