Verified Safeby documan-ai
Overview
A documentation tool that provides a built-in MCP server, allowing AI assistants to semantically search and understand documentation in real-time.
Installation
docker run -d --name documan -p 3000:3000 -v $(pwd)/docs:/documan/data/docs -v $(pwd)/README.md:/documan/data/README.md -e DOCUMAN_PROJECT_NAME="My Project" -e DOCUMAN_DOCS_FILES="**/*.md" -e DOCUMAN_HTTP_PORT="3000" jzaplet/documan:latestEnvironment Variables
- DOCUMAN_PROJECT_NAME
- DOCUMAN_DOCS_FILES
- DOCUMAN_HTTP_PORT
- DOCUMAN_OPENAI_API_KEY
Security Notes
A full security audit is not possible as the actual server source code (e.g., Go, Rust) was not provided for analysis, only the README.md. Based solely on the README and deployment instructions: the application uses environment variables for sensitive data (DOCUMAN_OPENAI_API_KEY), which is good practice. The binary distribution method (curl | tar xz) carries the general risk associated with running third-party binaries, but no immediate malicious patterns or dangerous code (like 'eval' or obfuscation) were identified in the provided text. Network exposure is limited to a configurable HTTP port.
