DHTMLX MCP Server
AI coding assistants such as Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT may produce outdated or inaccurate code when working with library-specific APIs. The DHTMLX MCP server addresses this by providing direct access to the current documentation and API reference.
What is MCP
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard for providing AI assistants with external context about specific tools and libraries.
Large language models are trained on data up to a certain date and do not automatically reflect recent API changes or new features. The DHTMLX MCP server bridges this gap by exposing the full and up-to-date documentation through a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) system.
Server URL: https://docs.dhtmlx.com/mcp
The DHTMLX MCP server is a shared service that covers all major DHTMLX products, not only Scheduler. Configuration instructions in this section apply regardless of which DHTMLX component you are working with.
Supported Products
When connected, the AI tool can retrieve documentation, generate code snippets based on current APIs, and answer configuration questions for the following products:
- Gantt
- Scheduler
- Suite (Grid, Form, TreeGrid, and more)
- Kanban
- Pivot
- Spreadsheet
- Diagram
- RichText
Privacy
The MCP server is a hosted service. It does not run locally and does not access your files. No personal information about users is stored. Queries may be logged for debugging and service improvement. For commercial options with strict no-logging policies, contact info@dhtmlx.com.
Setting Up
Select your AI tool below and follow the corresponding instructions.
Claude Code
The recommended way is through the CLI:
claude mcp add --transport http dhtmlx-mcp https://docs.dhtmlx.com/mcp
Alternatively, add the following to your mcp.json manually:
{
"mcpServers": {
"dhtmlx-mcp": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://docs.dhtmlx.com/mcp"
}
}
}
Cursor
- Open Settings (Cmd+Shift+J on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+J on Windows/Linux)
- Go to Tools & MCP
- Click Add Custom MCP
- Paste the following configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"dhtmlx-mcp": {
"url": "https://docs.dhtmlx.com/mcp"
}
}
}
After connecting, you can use prompts such as "Check DHTMLX docs for how to configure recurring events in Scheduler" directly in the chat.
