Description

When an AI assistant suggests code for a specialized R package, it’s often guessing based on outdated or public data. We built mcp.rhelp to turn local R documentation into a tool for AI coding assistants. This lightweight MCP server allows assistants to navigate R’s documentation - finding where a function lives, reading its exact help file, and inspecting its source code. In this talk, I will show how this setup increase quality of responses by providing the AI with the relevant information. It’s a simple, focused solution for making AI assistants actually reliable for professional R development.
