## Lightdash Docs MCP
304
+
305
+
In addition to the Lightdash data MCP above, we also offer a **Docs MCP endpoint** that gives AI coding agents access to the complete Lightdash documentation. This is free for everyone—including open source users and all cloud tiers.
306
+
307
+
### Benefits
308
+
309
+
The Docs MCP helps AI agents:
310
+
311
+
- Understand Lightdash concepts, configuration, and best practices
312
+
- Generate accurate YAML configurations for metrics and dimensions
313
+
- Troubleshoot issues using official documentation
314
+
- Stay up-to-date with the latest Lightdash features
315
+
316
+
<Tip>
317
+
For the best experience building and maintaining your semantic layer, we recommend using [agent skills](/guides/developer/agent-skills) instead. Skills provide more targeted context for AI coding agents and are optimized for code generation tasks.
