# Connect AI Tools to HoopAI Docs

> Let ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Cursor, and other AI tools search and reference the HoopAI Help Center.

HoopAI documentation is designed to be AI-friendly. AI assistants can search, read, and reference our entire help center using standard protocols — no scraping or workarounds needed.

<Note>
  This page is about connecting AI tools to **HoopAI documentation**. To connect AI tools to **your HoopAI account data** (contacts, conversations, calendars, etc.), see the [Platform MCP Server](/developer/mcp/overview).
</Note>

## How it works

HoopAI exposes documentation to AI tools through two channels:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="llms.txt" icon="file-lines">
    A structured text file that gives AI models a complete index of every page in the help center — titles, descriptions, and URLs. Most AI tools discover this automatically.

    **URL:** [`help.hoopai.com/llms.txt`](https://help.hoopai.com/llms.txt)
  </Card>

  <Card title="Docs MCP Server" icon="plug">
    A hosted MCP server that lets AI tools search across the entire knowledge base in real time. Returns contextual content with direct links.

    **URL:** [`help.hoopai.com/mcp`](https://help.hoopai.com/mcp)
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## llms.txt

The [`llms.txt` standard](https://llmstxt.org/) is a simple text file at the root of a website that helps AI models understand the site's content. Think of it as `robots.txt` but for LLMs — instead of telling crawlers where *not* to go, it tells AI tools what content is available and how it's organized.

HoopAI publishes two files:

| File            | URL                                                                    | What it contains                                                  |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `llms.txt`      | [help.hoopai.com/llms.txt](https://help.hoopai.com/llms.txt)           | Page index — titles, descriptions, and links for every page       |
| `llms-full.txt` | [help.hoopai.com/llms-full.txt](https://help.hoopai.com/llms-full.txt) | Full content — the complete text of every page in the help center |

These files are auto-generated and updated on every deploy, so they always reflect the latest documentation.

### Who uses llms.txt?

AI tools that support `llms.txt` will automatically discover and use it when they encounter HoopAI documentation URLs:

* **Perplexity** — Automatically reads `llms.txt` when answering questions about HoopAI
* **ChatGPT** — Can reference it via web browsing when you share a HoopAI docs link
* **Claude** — Uses it when searching for HoopAI documentation
* **Cursor / Windsurf** — Can use it as context when you reference `@docs` or paste a URL

No configuration needed — just ask your AI tool about HoopAI and it can find the docs.

## Docs MCP Server

The Docs MCP Server is a hosted [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) endpoint that lets any MCP-compatible AI client search the HoopAI Help Center programmatically.

**Endpoint:** `https://help.hoopai.com/mcp`
**Transport:** HTTP Streamable
**Authentication:** None required (public docs)

### Available tool

| Tool                     | Description                                                                                                                  |
| ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `SearchHoopAiHelpCenter` | Search across the HoopAI Help Center knowledge base to find relevant information, code examples, API references, and guides. |

### Connect AI tools to the Docs MCP Server

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Claude Desktop">
    Open your Claude Desktop config file:

    * **macOS:** `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
    * **Windows:** `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

    Add the HoopAI docs server:

    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "hoopai-docs": {
          "url": "https://help.hoopai.com/mcp"
        }
      }
    }
    ```

    Restart Claude Desktop. You can now ask Claude to search HoopAI docs directly.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Cursor / Windsurf">
    In your MCP settings, add a new server:

    * **Name:** `hoopai-docs`
    * **URL:** `https://help.hoopai.com/mcp`
    * **Transport:** HTTP Streamable

    Or add to your project's `.cursor/mcp.json`:

    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "hoopai-docs": {
          "url": "https://help.hoopai.com/mcp"
        }
      }
    }
    ```

    Use `@hoopai-docs` in your prompts to search the help center while coding.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Claude Code (CLI)">
    Add to your Claude Code MCP config (`~/.claude/.mcp.json`):

    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "hoopai-docs": {
          "type": "url",
          "url": "https://help.hoopai.com/mcp"
        }
      }
    }
    ```

    Then ask Claude Code to search HoopAI docs for any topic.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="n8n">
    In your n8n workflow, add the **MCP Client** node:

    1. **MCP URL:** `https://help.hoopai.com/mcp`
    2. **Transport:** HTTP Streamable
    3. **Auth:** None required

    Chain it with an AI agent to answer questions using HoopAI documentation as context.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="OpenAI (ChatGPT)">
    ChatGPT doesn't natively support MCP servers yet, but you can reference HoopAI docs in two ways:

    1. **Share a link** — Paste any `help.hoopai.com` URL in your chat and ChatGPT will read the page
    2. **Custom GPT instructions** — Add this to your Custom GPT system prompt:
       ```
       When answering questions about HoopAI, reference the help center at
       https://help.hoopai.com. You can find a full index of all documentation
       pages at https://help.hoopai.com/llms.txt and complete page content at
       https://help.hoopai.com/llms-full.txt.
       ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Perplexity">
    Perplexity automatically discovers and uses `llms.txt` — no setup needed.

    For best results, include "HoopAI" in your query:

    ```
    How do I set up workflows in HoopAI?
    ```

    Perplexity will find and cite the relevant help center pages.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Platform MCP vs Docs MCP

HoopAI offers two separate MCP servers for different purposes:

|                 | Docs MCP Server               | Platform MCP Server                                  |
| --------------- | ----------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **Purpose**     | Search HoopAI documentation   | Access your HoopAI account data                      |
| **Endpoint**    | `help.hoopai.com/mcp`         | `services.leadconnectorhq.com/mcp/`                  |
| **Auth**        | None (public)                 | Private Integration Token                            |
| **Tools**       | 1 (search docs)               | 36 (contacts, conversations, calendars, etc.)        |
| **Use case**    | "How do I set up a workflow?" | "Show me my last 10 contacts"                        |
| **Setup guide** | This page                     | [Platform MCP Quickstart](/developer/mcp/quickstart) |

You can use both servers together — ask an AI assistant to look up *how* to do something in the docs, then *do it* via the platform MCP.
