Quick reference: choose your approach
| Situation | Approach |
|---|---|
| First visit to a doc site | Check for llms.txt, then MCP |
| Know exactly what you're looking for | MCP search or grep llms-full.txt |
| Need to read a specific page | Try .md URL variant first, then HTML |
| Exploring/browsing | View HTML page in browser |
| Need comprehensive understanding | Load llms-full.txt (check length first) |
| Multiple doc sites in one task | Set up MCPs for each |
