+An MCP server that gives AI assistants deep access to the Rust ecosystem. It scrapes docs.rs (and `doc.rust-lang.org` for `std`/`core`/`alloc`) with surgical DOM extraction (cheerio) and queries the crates.io API, exposing seven tools that cover everything from high-level crate overviews to individual method signatures, feature gates, trait impls, and code examples. Responses are cached in memory (5-minute TTL) to avoid redundant fetches.

 | `get_crate_items` | Items in a module with types, feature gates, and descriptions |
 | `lookup_crate_item` | Item detail: signature, docs, methods, variants, optionally trait impls + examples |
 | `search_crate` | Ranked symbol search (exact > prefix > substring) with canonical paths |
+| `search_crates` | Search crates.io by keyword — returns name, description, downloads, version |
 
 Every tool accepts an optional `version` parameter to pin a specific crate version instead of `latest`.
 
+### Standard library support
+
+All documentation tools work with `std`, `core`, and `alloc` — the Rust standard library crates hosted at `doc.rust-lang.org`. Use them exactly like any other crate:
+
+```
+> lookup_crate_docs({ crateName: "std" })
+> get_crate_items({ crateName: "std", modulePath: "collections" })
+> search_crate({ crateName: "core", query: "Option" })
+```
+
+`get_crate_metadata` returns a helpful message for std crates since they aren't published on crates.io.

 - **Ranked search** — `all.html` contains every public item; scoring by exact/prefix/substring gives better results than flat substring matching
 - **Version parameter everywhere** — Agents working on projects with pinned dependencies need to read docs for specific versions
