How to Use the Guru MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I add the Guru MCP server to Cursor?

Add the server details to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root. Once saved, Cursor will immediately list the new tools in your chat window.

Q: Does Cursor support searching Guru boards?

It does. The editor uses listknowledgeboards to let the agent browse through your structured wiki folders.

Q: What happens if my API token for Guru expires?

Your agent will fail to fetch cards. You can quickly run verifyapiconnection in Cursor to test if your credentials are still valid.

Feed real Guru card data directly into your Cursor agent to write code with accurate context.

Inject Real Guru API Schemas into Cursor

Stop writing code against outdated, guessed API stubs. Cursor reads live documentation using `get_card_details` to understand your internal system architectures while you write code. Your agent pulls down the exact markdown content from your cards to generate typed interfaces. You get accurate code that matches your team's actual production specifications.

Document Code Directly to Guru from Cursor

Writing documentation is easier when you don't have to leave your editor. Tell your Cursor agent to run `create_knowledge_card` to document a new service you just finished building. The agent can also query your existing boards with `list_knowledge_boards` to find where the new card belongs. Your wiki stays updated as fast as you commit code.

Audit Workspace Membership via MCP Server

When onboarding new developers, you need to know who has access to what codebases. Cursor uses this MCP Server to trigger `list_workspace_members` and verify team permissions directly from your sidebar. The editor queries your workspace structure using `list_knowledge_collections` to match team members with their respective boards. This keeps your internal access control clean without manual checks.
