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.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Guru tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 12 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
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.
