Yes. It is Guru's first-party MCP server, hosted by Guru at https://mcp.api.getguru.com/mcp, with the source published under the guruhq organization.

Does it support remote/OAuth?

Yes. It is remote-only with no local install. Approved clients like Claude and Cursor connect over OAuth; other agent frameworks can use an API token sent as an Authorization: Bearer email:token header.

Does it respect Guru permissions?

Yes. Answers and search results are permission-aware, so the agent only surfaces knowledge the connected user is allowed to access.

Guru MCP server

OfficialGuruConfig last verified Jun 1, 2026

Guru's official remote MCP server brings verified company knowledge into any AI client: ask, search, draft, and update Guru Cards.

Guru MCP Server is the official, hosted server from Guru that exposes your company's knowledge base to an AI assistant. Guru is a knowledge platform where teams keep verified, trusted answers as Cards, and this server lets a model reach that knowledge directly: it can ask Guru a question and get a permission-aware verified answer, search across Cards and connected sources, and list the Knowledge Agents available in your workspace so the agent works against the right body of knowledge. Because answers respect each user's Guru permissions, the agent only sees what the connected account is allowed to see.

It also supports lightweight content creation: the agent can create a draft Card straight from a conversation and suggest updates to an existing Card, keeping documentation current as work happens. The server is remote-only at https://mcp.api.getguru.com/mcp and is designed for no-code setup — there is no package to install. Approved clients like Claude and Cursor connect over OAuth, while broader agent frameworks and automation runtimes can authenticate with an API token passed as an Authorization: Bearer email:token header. This makes Guru a strong way to ground an agent in human-curated, verified knowledge rather than raw documents.

What you can do with it

Answer with verified knowledge

An agent asks Guru a question and returns the team's verified answer with its source, so support and onboarding replies stay consistent with what the company has already vetted.

Keep Cards current from where you work

When the agent learns something new in a conversation, it drafts a Card or suggests an update to an existing one, so knowledge gets captured instead of lost.
