Cactus MCP server

Cactus (heycactus.ai) learns a product from its codebase, answers its customers live, and keeps its help site and changelog current with every release. Its MCP server lets your team reach that knowledge from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any other MCP client.

This repository holds no server code. It lists Cactus's hosted MCP server: how to connect, the tools it offers, and the manifests MCP directories read.

Connect

  • Server: https://mcp.heycactus.ai/mcp

  • Transport: Streamable HTTP

  • Sign-in: OAuth 2.0 with your Cactus account (Google or GitHub). Dynamic client registration and client ID metadata documents are supported, with PKCE (S256).

Step-by-step setup for each AI client: https://heycactus.ai/docs/connect-an-ai-client

In Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http cactus https://mcp.heycactus.ai/mcp

In Cursor, add this to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cactus": {
      "url": "https://mcp.heycactus.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

ask

Ask Cactus a question. It answers from the published pages, the product map, the product knowledge and past conversations, and cites its sources

start_investigation, get_investigation

Investigate a question in the product's code and knowledge, and read the finding

Every tool carries MCP annotations. No tool edits or deletes anything. Only ask and start_investigation aren't read-only, because each runs a new answer or investigation.

Public help-center servers

Every product's public help center has its own server, with no sign-in: https://mcp.heycactus.ai/p/<name>/mcp. Cactus's own help center is https://mcp.heycactus.ai/p/cactus/mcp. It offers search_help, read_page, list_topics, read_timeline, ask_help, contact_team, search and fetch.

ask_help answers the way the help center answers a visitor. It starts from the published help pages and reads the product map, the code index and the code when those fall short. contact_team sends the team a message they can reply to.

    A local MCP server that lets AI hosts like Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Cline query a hybrid vector + BM25 index of your scattered notes, project docs, PDFs, and chat exports, returning answers with section-level citations. It exposes eight tools, resources, and prompts so agents can search, ask, and walk links across all your source directories at once.
