How do I install Yuque?

Copy the stdio config for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or VS Code on this page. It uses the publisher's install, not a PlugMCP proxy.

Does Yuque need an API key?

No required environment variable is listed on this record.

Yuque MCP server

Let AI assistants read and write your Yuque (语雀) knowledge basethrough the Model Context Protocol.

Quick Start · Tools · Troubleshooting · Docs · 中文文档

Once connected, ask your assistant things like:

"Search my Yuque for everything about canary releases and give me a one-page summary."

"Turn today's meeting notes into a doc in my Tech Research book."

"Add a flowchart of this deployment pipeline to the design doc."

Quick Start

1. Get a token — create one at Yuque Developer Settings. If you use a team token bound to a Yuque space, also note the space host (e.g. https://your-space.yuque.com) — you will pass it as --host.

2. Install — one command locates the right config file for your OS and merges a yuque entry into it, without touching other servers:

npx yuque-mcp install --token=YOUR_TOKEN --client=cursor

Supported clients: claude-desktop · vscode · cursor · windsurf · cline · trae · qoder · opencode. Prefer an interactive flow? Run npx yuque-mcp setup.

claude mcp add yuque -- npx -y yuque-mcp --token=YOUR_TOKEN

Any client that supports stdio transport works — see docs/clients.md for per-client config paths.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yuque": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "yuque-mcp"],
      "env": { "YUQUE_TOKEN": "YOUR_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

3. Restart your client and start asking.

Configuration

Setting	Env var / CLI flag	Description
Token (required)	`YUQUE_TOKEN` / `--token`	Personal or team Yuque API token
Host (optional)	`YUQUE_HOST` / `--host`	Site or space host, e.g. `https://your-space.yuque.com` — required for space-bound team tokens and private deployments

Site roots are normalized to /api/v2; when unset, the host defaults to https://www.yuque.com/api/v2.

# Team token / private deployment
npx yuque-mcp install --token=YOUR_TOKEN --client=cursor --host=https://your-space.yuque.com

YUQUE_PERSONAL_TOKEN, YUQUE_BASE_URL, and --base-url still work as legacy fallbacks. Precedence: YUQUE_TOKEN > YUQUE_PERSONAL_TOKEN > --token, and YUQUE_HOST > --host > YUQUE_BASE_URL > --base-url. New configs should use YUQUE_TOKEN and YUQUE_HOST.

Tools (19)

Each tool maps to exactly one Yuque API route.

Category	Tool	Description
User	`yuque_get_user`	Get the authenticated user for the current token
Search	`yuque_search`	Search docs or repos, with paging
Books	`yuque_list_books`	List books (知识库) of a user
	`yuque_get_book`	Get a book by ID or namespace
	`yuque_create_book`	Create a book
	`yuque_update_book`	Update name, slug, description, or visibility
Docs	`yuque_list_docs`	List docs in a book, with paging
	`yuque_get_doc`	Get full content — markdown, `lake`, or `html`
	`yuque_create_doc`	Create a doc in a book
	`yuque_update_doc`	Update a doc's body or metadata
TOC	`yuque_get_toc`	Get a book's table of contents
	`yuque_update_toc`	Append or move a single TOC node
Notes	`yuque_list_notes`	List notes (小记), with paging and status filter
	`yuque_get_note`	Get a note with full content
	`yuque_create_note`	Create a note
	`yuque_update_note`	Update a note
Boards	`yuque_get_resource`	Read a board (mindmap / flowchart / diagram) from a doc
	`yuque_create_resource`	Create a board in a doc
	`yuque_update_resource`	Update a board in a doc

In particular, yuque_update_doc cannot combine a markdown body with title / slug / public changes in a single call — update metadata separately. The full contract, including format routing between the YMD markdown API and the legacy document API, is documented in docs/capability-scope.md.

Not covered (yet): comments, attachment upload and file management, permission and member management, section-level doc edits, and structured resources other than boards.

Write access

The create/update tools modify real content in your knowledge base, and the server can do whatever your token can do. Keep the token secret, and prefer a space-scoped team token (with YUQUE_HOST) when you only work within one space. To report a vulnerability, see SECURITY.md.

Troubleshooting

Error	Solution
`YUQUE_TOKEN ... is required`	Set `YUQUE_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN` or pass `--token=YOUR_TOKEN`
`401 Unauthorized`	Token invalid or expired — regenerate it
`429 Rate Limited`	Too many requests — wait a moment and retry
`410 Gone`	Target permanently deleted or endpoint deprecated — check the doc/book exists
Tool not found	Update to the latest version: `npx -y yuque-mcp@latest`
`npx` command not found	Install Node.js v18 or later

Development

git clone https://github.com/yuque/yuque-mcp-server.git
cd yuque-mcp-server
npm install
npm test              # run tests
npm run build         # compile TypeScript
npm run dev           # dev mode with hot reload
