Vibe Coding
Already vibe coding? Make it context‑aware.
Connect Claude Code to Needle MCP so it searches live docs and code before answering. Less tech debt. More flow. Always current.
Configure Skills for Claude Code
Guide Claude when to search Needle collections by adding a simple SKILL.md.
1) Create a Skill folder
In your Claude settings skills directory, create a folder like search-needle-docs.
2) Add SKILL.md
Use the following example to tell Claude when to use Needle and which collections to search.
# Skill: Search Needle Docs ## When to use - When the user asks about our internal APIs, runbooks, or troubleshooting - When context is missing from the current chat ## How to use 1. Ask clarifying questions if the scope is ambiguous. 2. Use the Needle MCP to search these collections: - engineering-docs - product-specs - runbooks 3. Include citations in your answer with titles + URLs. ## Example prompts - "Search engineering-docs for our webhook retry policy" - "Find runbooks related to rate limit errors"
Includes MCP command, API token, and skills location.
Eliminate hidden tech debt from stale context
Vibe coding feels fast—until code depends on outdated docs. Needle’s connectors auto‑sync and auto‑update your knowledge base (Anthropic API, Stripe, internal APIs), so Claude queries live sources before answering. Flow stays intact—and correct.
Stop stale context
Claude searches your live docs (not memory) before answering—no more outdated assumptions.
Auto‑sync connectors
Continuously up‑to‑date collections (Anthropic, Stripe, internal APIs) keep answers current.
5‑minute setup
Connect Claude Code → Needle MCP → Your docs. Auto‑sync, no manual updates.
Easy for developers
Index Your Knowledge Base
Connect your documentation, codebase, Slack, and wikis to Needle. Semantic indexing happens automatically in the background.
