About Guru MCP Server
Connect your Guru (Getguru) workspace to any AI agent to automate your knowledge management and enterprise wiki workflows through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Guru is the AI-powered source of truth that organizes company information into verified cards. This MCP server enables you to retrieve knowledge cards, manage collections, and search your entire workspace directly through natural conversation.
Cursor's Agent mode turns Guru into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Guru and it fetches, processes, and writes — all in a single agentic loop. 12 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
Key Features
- Knowledge Card Oversight — List all knowledge cards, fetch detailed structured content (extended metadata), and create or update cards instantly.
- Collection Management — Access and list high-level enterprise groupings (collections) to understand how your knowledge is organized.
- AI-Powered Search — Execute powerful searches across all enterprise knowledge silos to isolate answers and verify facts.
- Board Discovery — Access board structures that pin collections for specific department or project discovery.
- Security & Access Control — List user groups and workspace members to verify knowledge permissions and authorized scopes.
- Verification Tracking — Monitor the verification state of your cards to ensure your AI assistant is always using the source of truth.
- Real-time Synchronization — Keep your company's collective intelligence accessible to your AI assistant without leaving your primary workspace.
