Our reading of Apple Doc, from the data

Apple Doc is a documentation MCP server from mightydillah.

We haven't measured its tool list yet, so its token cost is unknown.

Maintenance is slowing: the last public signal was 5 months ago (2026-05-13). For comparison, 71% of documentation servers are active or maintained.

With 632 GitHub stars it ranks #34 of 829 documentation servers we index.

It runs locally on your machine over stdio.
