Clear, descriptive titles help AI assistants understand and find your documents more easily. Include key terms and context.
Organize documents in logical folder hierarchies. This makes AI queries more effective and helps with workspace organization.
When using AI to edit documents, every change is tracked in Git. Review the diff before approving AI-generated changes.
Configure approval workflows before running bulk AI operations. This ensures all changes go through proper review processes.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
MCP Connection Failures
Verify your Claude Desktop config file is correctly formatted. Ensure the MossDocs URL is accessible and includes /api/mcp endpoint. Restart Claude Desktop after config changes.
API Authentication Errors
Check that you're logged into MossDocs and your session is active. For API key authentication, verify your token is included in the Authorization header as "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN".
Permission Denied Errors
Verify you have the correct role in the workspace. Document operations require at least EDITOR role, while workspace admin operations require ADMIN role.
