MCP Use Cases

Guru's MCP server puts your team's verified knowledge inside your development workflow. Once your IDE or agent is connected, here are ways developers put it to work.

Use Guru docs as context while you code

Access your team's best practices, architecture guides, and API documentation from Guru inside your IDE. While implementing a new API endpoint, query Guru for "authentication best practices" or "API versioning standards" to guide your implementation.

Generate cards from your code

Turn what you just wrote into documentation. After building a new feature, create a draft card summarizing the feature's purpose, how it works, and any configuration steps.

Enrich code reviews with knowledge

Ask Guru questions like "What's our preferred error-handling pattern?" or "How do we structure React components?" directly in your PR review context to align with team standards.

Link code to verified knowledge

Attach relevant cards, like a CI/CD pipeline guide or a data model diagram, to your comments or documentation blocks so teammates can reference the source of truth.

Onboard faster with instant context

New developers can search Guru for internal definitions, processes, and design docs without switching tools.

Document as you build

As you write new modules, generate draft documentation or technical breakdowns from your file context. Write a new UserService.ts, then draft a card describing its key methods and dependencies.

Stay in sync with product and engineering

Search Guru from your IDE to find the feature specs, design docs, and decisions that shaped the code you're editing.
