What is the Gainsight CS MCP Server?
Connect your Gainsight Customer Success (NXT) instance to any AI agent to automate your customer retention and engagement operations through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Gainsight is the industry-standard platform for customer success, empowering CSMs to manage health scores, track activities, and close CTAs. This MCP server enables you to retrieve company metadata, log timeline events, and oversee cockpit tasks directly through natural conversation.
Key Features
- Company Health Oversight — List all customer companies, retrieve detailed profiles including health scores, and verify CSM assignments instantly.
- Timeline Activity Management — Access the customer activity timeline and programmatically log new calls, meetings, or notes directly from your chat interface.
- People & Contact Data — Access detailed profile information for customers and partners managed within the Gainsight People object.
- Cockpit Automation — List and manage Calls to Action (CTAs) and associated tasks to stay on top of your retention playbook.
- Workforce Insights — Verify your own identity and profile details to ensure you are working in the correct account context.
- Real-time Synchronization — Keep your customer success strategy accessible to your AI assistant without leaving your primary workspace.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get an Access Key for Gainsight?
Log in to your Gainsight NXT instance, navigate to Administration > Connectors 2.0 > Gainsight API, and generate a new Access Key.
What is the 'Domain' required for setup?
Your domain is the base URL of your cloud instance (e.g., 'acme.gainsightcloud.com'). Do not include 'https://' or any path prefixes.
Can I log activity directly to the customer timeline?
Yes! Use the 'log_timeline_activity' tool. Provide the subject, note, and the associated Company ID to instantly add an entry to their timeline.
Are health scores accessible via the agent?
Yes, when you use 'get_company_health', the agent retrieves the current health score metadata along with the assigned CSM and other attributes.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
