Fetching Dbt Docs

This handles fetching dbt documentation in a format that's actually useful for Claude. The key insight is appending .md to any docs.getdbt.com URL to get clean markdown instead of HTML. It includes a search script that filters through the full docs by keyword, which beats trying to load everything at once. Start with the llms.txt index to find pages by title, then grab individual pages as needed. The explicit warnings about treating fetched content as untrusted are worth noting, since documentation sites can contain all sorts of embedded examples that might look like instructions.

Fetch dbt Docs

Overview

dbt docs have LLM-friendly URLs. Always append .md to get clean markdown instead of HTML.

URL Pattern

Browser URL	LLM-friendly URL
`https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/dbt-cloud-apis/service-tokens`	`https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/dbt-cloud-apis/service-tokens.md`
`https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/commands/run`	`https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/commands/run.md`

Quick Reference

Resource	URL	Use Case
Single page	Add `.md` to any docs URL	Fetch specific documentation
Page index	`https://docs.getdbt.com/llms.txt`	Find all available pages
Full docs	`https://docs.getdbt.com/llms-full.txt`	Search across all docs (filter by keyword first)

Fetching a Single Page

WebFetch: https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/path/to/page.md

Always add .md to the URL path.

Finding Pages

Step 1: Search the Index First

Use llms.txt to search page titles and descriptions:

WebFetch: https://docs.getdbt.com/llms.txt
Prompt: "Find pages related to [topic]. Return the URLs."

This is fast and usually sufficient.
