MCP Integration

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

Open MCP settings

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

Add the Gloo AI MCP server

In mcp.json, add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gloo-ai-docs": {
      "url": "https://docs.gloo.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

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

Open Claude settings

Navigate to the Connectors page in Claude settings.

Add the Gloo AI MCP server

Select Add custom connector and configure:

Name: Gloo AI Docs
URL: https://docs.gloo.com/mcp

Use in conversations

When chatting with Claude, select the attachments button (plus icon) and choose the Gloo AI Docs connector. Claude will search our documentation to answer your questions.

llms.txt

Gloo AI documentation is also available as standardized text files for direct AI consumption:

File	URL	Description
llms.txt	`https://docs.gloo.com/llms.txt`	Structured index of all documentation pages with descriptions
llms-full.txt	`https://docs.gloo.com/llms-full.txt`	Complete documentation content as a single file

These files follow the llms.txt standard and work with any AI tool that accepts URL-based context.

Choosing the Right Approach

Scenario	Recommended	Why
Building with Gloo AI APIs in your editor	MCP	Your AI assistant can search docs on demand as you code
Asking an AI assistant about Gloo AI	MCP	Searches current docs instead of relying on training data
Feeding full docs into a single prompt	llms-full.txt	All documentation in one file for maximum context
Finding a specific docs page to read	llms.txt	Browse the page index and fetch what you need
