Use it when your application needs to know which sources it used, whether they changed, and how to rebuild the same context later. [](https://www.python.org/downloads/) [](https://pypi.org/project/docpull/) [](LICENSE) <!-- mcp-name: io.github.raintree-technology/docpull --> ## Install and sync your first source ```bash pip install docpull docpull init stripe-docs docpull add https://docs.stripe.com docpull sync docpull diff docpull export context-pack --target cursor ``` The project stores declared sources in `docpull.yaml` and resolved inputs in `.docpull/context.lock.json`. Later syncs produce a hash-based diff while preserving source URLs, content hashes, run IDs, citations, and export metadata.  No account or paid API is required for this path. Direct fetching, discovery, extraction, indexing, pack analysis, and diffs run locally. ## Why use DocPull - **Reproduce agent context.** Stable IDs, hashes, manifests, and lockfiles show which source versions produced an answer or artifact. - **Detect source drift.** Sync and diff documentation, product pages, policies, feeds, repositories, packages, standards, and local documents. - **Keep evidence inspectable.** Markdown, NDJSON, SQLite, citations, and provenance sidecars remain readable without a hosted service. - **Choose the downstream surface.** Export context for agent clients, vector import, data workflows, or a versioned context-pack release. - **Keep expensive routes explicit.** Browser and cloud rendering require an explicit choice and can be blocked with a zero-dollar budget. ## How it works ```text declared sources → local acquisition → versioned evidence → diff and validation → export ``` DocPull's v3 pack contract separates raw extraction, agent-ready context, and eval-grade evidence. Validate the level a downstream system requires: ```bash docpull pack prepare packs/docs --eval-grade docpull pack validate packs/docs --level eval docpull ci --prepare ``` `docpull ci` checks freshness, citation coverage, pack quality, rights metadata, and other configured gates. It writes `context-ci.report.json` and `CONTEXT_CI.md`, then exits non-zero when a hard gate fails. ## Supported surfaces | Surface | Use it for | Start here | | --- | --- | --- | | CLI | Fetch, sync, diff, validate, and export | [`docs/cli-recipes.md`](docs/cli-recipes.md) | | Python SDK | Embed acquisition in Python applications | [`docs/surface-contract.md`](docs/surface-contract.md) | | MCP server | Give local agent clients source tools | [MCP server](#mcp-server) | | TypeScript SDK | Read local packs and invoke the CLI from Node or Bun | [`sdk/js/README.md`](sdk/js/README.md) | | Agent plugin | Install the supported MCP workflow in an agent client | [`plugin/README.md`](plugin/README.md) | Common source shapes include static and server-rendered websites, OpenAPI documents, feeds, papers, public GitHub repositories, npm and PyPI packages, standards, datasets, transcripts, Wikimedia pages, product and policy pages, and local PDF or office files. See [context-pack workflows](docs/context-packs.md) for the complete surface. ## MCP server ```bash pip install 'docpull[mcp]' docpull mcp ``` Claude Code can register the same local server: ```bash claude mcp add --transport stdio docpull -- docpull mcp ``` The Python stdio server is the supported release path. The TypeScript code formerly documented under `mcp/` is an [internal semantic-search lab](docs/internal-mcp-lab.md), not part of the package contract. ## Limits and security boundary DocPull is an evidence-acquisition engine, not a hosted competitive-intelligence product. It owns fetching, explicit rendering adapters, versioning, citations, hashing, validation, replay, and export. Downstream products own scheduling, human review, approved claims, legal conclusions, accounts, and notifications. The default path does not handle complex interactive browser workflows, CAPTCHAs, stealth scraping, or private dashboards. JavaScript rendering is explicit. Authenticated sources require environment-variable references; DocPull does not persist credential values in project artifacts. Security defaults include HTTPS-only fetching, robots.txt compliance, SSRF and DNS rebinding protections, redirect guards, XXE protection, and path-traversal checks. Read the [web-source boundary](docs/scraping-boundary.md), [security posture](docs/compliance.md), and [evidence-engine decision](docs/adr/0001-evidence-acquisition-engine.md) before extending acquisition behavior. ## Documentation and evidence - [CLI recipes](docs/cli-recipes.md) — Common commands and advanced workflows. - [Context dependencies](docs/context-dependencies.md) — Project and lockfile model. - [Context Pack Contract v3](docs/context-pack-contract-v3.md) — Artifact levels and compatibility. - [Public contracts](docs/contracts.md) — Schemas and versioning rules. - [Alternatives](docs/alternatives.md) — Browser automation and hosted extraction tradeoffs. - [Evaluation lab](bench/docs/index.md) — Reproducible methods, results, and claim boundaries. - [Changelog](docs/CHANGELOG.md) — Release history. ## Raintree open-source system DocPull owns evidence acquisition and reproducible agent context. It can be used independently; the sibling projects do not imply a required integration or shared release cycle. | Project | Responsibility | | --- | --- | | [Raintree Standards](https://github.com/raintree-technology/raintree.standards) | Defines governed requirements and evidence. | | [Trellis](https://github.com/raintree-technology/trellis) | Enforces shared JavaScript and TypeScript code policy. | | [HIG Doctor](https://github.com/raintree-technology/hig-doctor) | Audits interface source and provides HIG guidance. | | [PolicyStrata](https://github.com/raintree-technology/policystrata) | Tests cross-layer policy behavior. | See the [Raintree open-source portfolio](https://raintree.technology/portfolio#open-source) for current lifecycle and distribution links. ## Project policies [Contributing](CONTRIBUTING.md) · [Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) · [Security](SECURITY.md) · [Metrics and evidence limits](METRICS.md) · [Source repository](https://github.com/raintree-technology/docpull) · [MIT License](LICENSE)
