About Guru MCP

Guru’s hosted MCP provides permission-aware search and verified answers from a Guru knowledge base and connected sources, plus draft creation and card updates.

What you can use it for

  • List Knowledge Agents and ask them questions for cited answers.
  • Search Guru cards and connected documents.
  • Create draft cards and suggest updates to existing cards.
Connection and setup
Hosting
remote
Transport
Not documented
Endpoint
https://mcp.api.getguru.com/mcp
Authentication
OAuth for user-facing clients; API token option for integrations/automation.

Requirements

  • Guru workspace and access to Knowledge Agents
  • OAuth client may need Guru Support allowlisting
  • For API-token auth, generate a token in Guru Admin > API Tokens for a user or service account
  • Access follows existing Guru role, Knowledge Agent, source, collection and card permissions

Setup steps

  1. Add remote Streamable HTTP endpoint https://mcp.api.getguru.com/mcp in the MCP client.
  2. Choose OAuth, sign in to Guru and approve access; contact Guru Support if the client redirect URI is rejected and needs whitelisting.
  3. Alternatively configure an Authorization header `Bearer <EMAIL>:<TOKEN>` using an API token generated under Guru Admin > API Tokens; use a secure local secret store.
  4. Select or expose the intended Knowledge Agent in Guru if required by the workspace setup.
  5. Verify with a harmless question or card search; results are permission-aware and queries are logged in Guru AI Agent Center.
  6. Do not register a Guru OAuth2 Client for ordinary MCP login; that flow is for custom API integrations.

This server’s available tools can vary by account, permissions, or configuration. The list shown is not its full runtime catalog.

Limitations and notes
  • Role-based access applies to all results; tools can evolve over time. The capability table uses human-readable labels rather than exact identifiers.
