How to Use the Helpjuice MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I add the Helpjuice MCP Server to Cursor?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root and define the Helpjuice MCP Server under the mcpServers key. Cursor will spin up the server automatically when you open the project.

Build tools using live knowledge base data

Cursor lets you write code alongside an agent that calls real APIs instead of relying on outdated mock structures. Using `get_article_details` and `list_articles`, your editor pulls actual knowledge base content directly into your active workspace. This integration eliminates the guesswork when building custom support widgets or internal search tools. You get real payloads to test your frontend components against, speeding up your development cycle.

Automate documentation updates from your editor

Keep your technical docs in sync with your codebase without opening a web browser. When you modify a feature, let Cursor run `update_article` or `create_article` to update the corresponding Helpjuice guides. This MCP Server provides the direct bridge between your markdown files and your live knowledge base. Your agent handles the API formatting, ensuring your public documentation matches your latest release.

Track user engagement metrics in line

Evaluate how your documentation performs by pulling live analytics directly into your coding environment. This MCP Server runs `get_article_stats` and `get_search_trends` to show you exactly what users are reading and searching for. You can use this data to prioritize which articles need code-level updates or structural rewrites. Having these metrics next to your code helps you focus on high-impact documentation fixes.
