Keep your docs in step with your code by working on them from Cursor

Overview

Connect Cursor to your HelpDocs knowledge base and your docs sit right next to your code. Over our MCP server, Cursor can search and read your articles, so you can ask whether a change you’re making is already documented, or which articles it’ll break.

It can write too. Ask it to draft an article for the feature you just built, or to update the ones that mention an old API endpoint. Edits to published articles go in as working copies, so your help center doesn’t change until somebody publishes them.

Cursor asks before it runs each HelpDocs action, and you can see exactly what it’s about to send. We’d keep approval on for anything that writes while you get a feel for it.

There’s a ready-made prompt for checking your docs against the code before a launch.

What you can do

• Search and read your knowledge base without leaving your editor
• Find the articles a code change makes out of date
• Draft new articles from the feature you just built
• Edits land as working copies, so nothing goes live until you publish
