What is Guru MCP?

The Guru MCP server is a Model Context Protocol server that connects Guru to AI agents and assistants as a set of tools. With it connected, an agent can work with Guru (enterprise knowledge base — ai search, verified answers, wiki, intranet) directly — instead of you copying data in and out by hand.

It is a remote MCP server that uses OAuth, so you point your client at the server URL, authorize once, and the Guru tools become available to the model.

Sample use cases

Using Guru MCP with Gamut

On Gamut, the Guru MCP server becomes a tool your agents use inside an automated, event-driven workflow — triggered by an event or a schedule, acting through Guru and your other connected MCP servers, with the connection managed by Gamut rather than a local config file.

Frequently asked questions

What Guru data can an agent access through MCP?

The integration provides access to Guru's knowledge management platform — including searching cards, reading card content, listing collections, and checking verification status. Exact capabilities depend on the MCP server implementation.

Can the agent create or edit Guru cards?

Write capabilities depend on the MCP server implementation. Some support creating and updating cards via Guru's API; others are read-only. Check the server documentation and ensure your API key has appropriate permissions.

Does searching through MCP respect Guru's permission model?

Yes. The MCP server authenticates with your Guru API token, which inherits the permissions of the associated user. The agent can only access cards and collections that user is authorized to view.

How current is the data the agent retrieves?

Guru card queries hit the live API — the agent always gets the latest published version of a card. There's no caching layer in the MCP server, so content reflects real-time updates made in the Guru UI.
