## 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.
318+
