The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI tools search external data sources directly. Gloo AI hosts an MCP server for our documentation, so tools like Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and ChatGPT can look up our APIs, models, and platform docs while generating responses — no copy-pasting or web searching required. MCP Server URL: 
https://docs.gloo.com/mcp

​
Quick Setup

The fastest way to connect is from the contextual menu at the top-right of any docs page:
  • Connect to Cursor — one-click MCP install
  • Connect to VS Code — one-click MCP install
  • Copy MCP server URL — for pasting into any MCP-compatible tool
  • Copy MCP install command — copies npx add-mcp for terminal-based install
Or follow the step-by-step instructions below for your preferred tool.

​
Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http gloo-ai-docs https://docs.gloo.com/mcp
Verify the connection: 
claude mcp list
Claude Code will now search Gloo AI documentation when answering questions about the platform, models, APIs, and integration patterns.

​
Cursor

1

Open MCP settings

Use Command + Shift + P (Ctrl + Shift + P on Windows) to open the command palette, then search for Open MCP settings.
2

Add the Gloo AI MCP server

In mcp.json, add:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gloo-ai-docs": {
      "url": "https://docs.gloo.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
3

Test the connection

In Cursor’s chat, ask “What models does Gloo AI support?” — Cursor should search the docs via MCP and return an accurate answer.

​
VS Code

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your project: 
{
  "servers": {
    "gloo-ai-docs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://docs.gloo.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
You can also use the Connect to VS Code option in the contextual menu at the top of any docs page for one-click setup.

​
Claude

llms.txt

Gloo AI documentation is also available as standardized text files for direct AI consumption:
FileURLDescription
llms.txthttps://docs.gloo.com/llms.txtStructured index of all documentation pages with descriptions
llms-full.txthttps://docs.gloo.com/llms-full.txtComplete documentation content as a single file
These files follow the llms.txt standard and work with any AI tool that accepts URL-based context.
