The well-known technology thinker Stewart Brand once said, “When a new technology rolls over you, if you’re not part of the steamroller, you’re part of the road.” With the meteoric rise of AI technologies, these words become more relevant than ever to the whole IT industry, and web development in particular. Here, inaction carries risks for everyone. That is why businesses request AI-powered functionality to gain a competitive edge, developers actively use AI assistants for workflow optimization, and providers of dev tools, such as ourselves, make efforts to adapt their products to the AI environment.
Today, we are excited to announce our latest achievement in the AI direction – DHTMLX MCP server. This novelty is designed to significantly enhance the experience of dev teams with the DHTMLX documentation.
What is the MCP Server and Why It Matters for AI-Powered Development Platforms
Nowadays, it is safe to say that AI assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini, and Codex have already become indispensable for many developers in accelerating routine coding tasks, debugging, and documentation-related tasks. And our experience reveals that AI tools are good at many things, but there is also a significant downside. AI assistants use LLMs as their core intelligence layer. LLMs are trained on static datasets and do not receive any updates after a certain point in time (commonly referred to as the knowledge cutoff date). That’s where MCP comes to the rescue.
By general definition, Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a universal, open standard that allows AI models (LLMs) to interact with various external systems or data sources. Since its launch in November 2024 by Anthropic, MCP has gained impressive adoption. Here are just a few notable insights from Anthropic:
- MCP has quickly grown into a broad ecosystem, with over 10,000 public servers supporting use cases ranging from developer tooling to enterprise-level deployments in Fortune 500 companies.
- At the infrastructure level, MCP is now backed by leading providers of cloud services, including AWS, Cloudflare, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.
- Now developers can make use of official SDKs for MCP in all major programming languages with 97M+ monthly SDK downloads.
No wonder that MCP has become one of the top trends for 2026. Thanks to this protocol, AI developer tools receive fresh and relevant technical information about libraries, frameworks, and services. That was the primary reason for our decision to build the DHTMLX MCP server. With this new tool at hand, you give AI coding assistants direct access to the authoritative and up-to-date DHTMLX documentation.
How does it impact the AI-assisted development process with DHTMLX JavaScript components? Let’s find out.
Benefits of the New MCP Server for DHTMLX Users
When using AI assistants with UI libraries like DHTMLX without MCP, you may encounter incorrect AI outputs containing outdated API, missing configuration details, or incorrect code examples.
These issues, or so-called AI hallucinations, often stem from version mismatches and a lack of information about recent product updates. The use of the new DHTMLX MCP server will help eliminate such inconveniences and facilitate AI error prevention.
Our MCP server can be easily connected to popular developer productivity tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and Antigravity, providing:
- reliable AI outputs based on the latest DHTMLX documentation version,
- data retrieval powered by a high-precision embedding model,
- accurate code snippet generation based on current APIs,
- AI assistance that adheres to the DHTMLX usage patterns and best practices,
- comprehensive insights into available configuration options, customizations, and API references.
And the best thing is that the new MCP server covers the documentation of all JavaScript UI components from the DHTMLX product line. No matter whether you want to build a comprehensive project management tool with our Gantt or Scheduler, visualize data using the Diagram library, or deliver a Suite-based dashboard, the MCP server will help your AI assistant retrieve the necessary docs-based guidance for effective AI-assisted coding.
Anticipating possible security concerns, we want to point out that DHTMLX MCP is a hosted service that does not require access to user files. We do not collect any personal information about MCP users.
