Getting Started with Snipara

Get up and running with Snipara in under 5 minutes. This guide will walk you through creating your first project and connecting your MCP client.

Snipara is a Context Optimization as a Service platform. We do not run an LLM - we optimize and deliver relevant context to your own LLM.

What is Snipara?

Snipara helps you query your documentation efficiently by reducing context from 500K tokens to approximately 5K tokens of highly relevant content. This means:

  • 90% cost reduction on your LLM API bills
  • Faster responses with less context to process
  • Better accuracy with more relevant context
  • No vendor lock-in - works with Claude, GPT, Gemini, and any MCP-compatible client

Step 3: Upload Your Documentation

You can upload documentation in several ways:

  • Manual upload - Upload markdown files directly through the web interface
  • API upload - Use our REST API to programmatically add documents
  • GitHub sync - Connect your repository for automatic syncing (Pro+ plans)

Step 4: Generate an API Key

Go to your project settings and generate an API key. You will need this to connect your MCP client.

Your API Key: sk_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Keep your API key secret. Never commit it to version control or share it publicly.

Step 5: Connect Your MCP Client

Add Snipara to your MCP client configuration. See our Integration Guide for detailed instructions for each client.
