Using these docs with Claude

View .md Open in ChatGPT Open in Claude

Claude is the cleanest fit for grandocs: it speaks the MCP server natively and can install the grandocs skills, so it searches the live manual and follows the same grounding rules you’d want. Three ways, depending on which Claude you use.

Option 1 — connect the MCP server (recommended)

This gives Claude live search over every page.

claude mcp add --transport http grandocs https://grandocs-mcp.samcarlton.com/mcp

Then ask normally — Claude calls search_docs, get_page, and command_lookup.

Add a custom connector under Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector with the URL https://grandocs-mcp.samcarlton.com/mcp.

Or edit claude_desktop_config.json directly:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "grandocs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://grandocs-mcp.samcarlton.com/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop and the grandocs tools appear.

On plans with connectors, add a custom connector in Settings → Connectors using the URL https://grandocs-mcp.samcarlton.com/mcp.

The full tool list and what each does is on the Any MCP client page.

Option 2 — install the skills (Claude Code)

The grandocs skills teach Claude how to use the docs and the house rules (version awareness, never inventing syntax, citing the page). One command installs all six:

npx skills add ThatGuySam/grandocs

You get: grandma3-docs, grandma2-dot2-docs, grandma-command-syntax, grandma3-lua-api, grandma-macro-writer, and grandma-troubleshooting. They pair well with the MCP server — the skill routes the lookup, the server fetches the page.

Option 3 — Projects (no MCP)

For chat-only use on claude.ai, drop the manual into a Project.

Create a Project.
Add the manual to Project knowledge — either:
- upload the .md for the pages you care about (use Copy as Markdown / the .md twin URLs), or
- upload a whole product set, e.g. /_llms-txt/grandma3-v24.txt.
Add a custom instruction: “Answer only from the attached grandMA manual; quote syntax blocks verbatim and cite the page; never invent commands.”

For a single question you can also just paste a page’s markdown into the chat.
