Connect your AI to Zato documentation via MCP

Your copilot reads the current Zato documentation over MCP and answers your questions from it.

Your AI can read the Zato documentation over MCP, so its answers about development with Zato, its configuration and its architecture come from the current pages instead of training data.

With each question, the copilot searches the documentation in real time and retrieves the exact content it needs before answering.

Claude Code

Run this command to add the Zato documentation as an MCP server:

claude mcp add --transport http zato-docs https://zato.io/mcp

Start Claude Code and ask a question - it searches the documentation and reads the pages it needs:

Python Scheduler - Learn how to schedule Python code, API calls and SQL jobs with Zato. Select "Scheduler" in the main menu, click "Create a new job: interval-based" … (14,208 characters)
Use an interval-based scheduler job. In the Dashboard open Scheduler, click Create a new job: interval-based, choose the service to run, set Hours to 1 and click OK - the scheduler now invokes that service every hour. The job can also be kept as enmasse YAML in git. The full walkthrough is in the Python Scheduler tutorial.
