Summary
tessl install)What is Tessl?
Tessl is a registry that provides curated, AI-agent-friendly documentation for libraries. When working with AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.), the agent can query the Tessl MCP server to get up-to-date API docs and usage patterns for dependencies instead of hallucinating or using outdated knowledge.
We're using it to provide accurate library documentation for our dependencies (pytest, click, libcst, pydantic, etc.) so AI agents can write better code when working on this codebase.
Example context provided
When an agent queries for libcst usage, it gets structured docs like:
This helps agents write correct code without needing to search through source files or guess at APIs.
