Authentication & Connection Setup

Option 1: OAuth (Recommended)

Best for AI assistants and user-facing integrations (e.g. ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor).

How to Connect

1. Open your AI tool’s MCP connection settings
2. Add a new connection and enter the Guru MCP URL: https://mcp.api.getguru.com
3. Select OAuth and sign in with your Guru credentials
4. Approve the access request

That’s it — the client now securely interacts with Guru using your account’s permissions.

💡

You’ll see Guru listed as a connected service in your AI client settings.

Option 2: API Token

Best for backend scripts or automation systems.

1. In Guru, go to Admin → API Tokens
2. Generate a new token tied to your user or service account
3. When prompted by your MCP client, provide:

• User Email
• API Token
• MCP URL: https://mcp.api.getguru.com/mcp

Access Control

• The Guru MCP Server enforces the same RBAC permissions as Guru’s web app
• Each query only returns knowledge that the authenticated user can access
• All interactions are logged in Guru’s AI Agent Center for visibility and governance
