Connect Resource Guru to AI tools with our MCP server

Resource Guru's MCP server allows MCP-compatible AI tools to access your Resource Guru data and context through a secure, read-only connection.

Authentication is handled through Resource Guru's OAuth flow when you connect from your chosen AI tool.

1. Go to Settings → Integrations → MCP Server

2. Enable the MCP Server

3. Copy the Endpoint URL:

• Windsurf

Each AI tool has its own setup process.

To connect Resource Guru:

1. Open your tool's MCP or connectors settings

2. Add a new remote MCP server

3. Enter the Resource Guru endpoint URL

4. Complete the Resource Guru OAuth sign-in flow

5. Start using Resource Guru data with your AI tool

Once connected, you can ask questions such as:

• Who has availability next week?

• Which projects are currently over budget?

• Show upcoming time off for the design team.

• Summarize utilization across the engineering department.

• Which team members have the most remaining capacity this month?

The quality of AI responses depends on the tool, model, and mode you're using. For best results:

• choose a reasoning or thinking model with medium or higher capability

• provide clear instructions and relevant context

• verify important recommendations before taking action

Choosing the right model can significantly improve the quality of answers about your Resource Guru data.

Select an intelligence level of Medium or higher before asking about your Resource Guru data.

Turn Thinking on and choose an Effort level of Medium or higher before asking about your Resource Guru data.

Please note: AI tools change frequently. If these options look different, choose the closest equivalent reasoning or thinking mode.

• If you have access to multiple Resource Guru accounts, specify which account you want the AI tool to use. This helps it retrieve and analyze data from the right place. You can check which accounts you have access to by following the steps in this article.

• Break large planning or forecasting tasks into smaller questions. Instead of asking "Who should I assign to this project?", first identify people with availability, then narrow the list by role, skills, or location.

• Be as specific as possible about the people, projects, departments, dates, skills, or metrics you want to analyze.

• Ask for a specific output format, such as a table, summary, or prioritized list.

• Ask the AI to explain its recommendations so you can review the reasoning and the underlying data.

• AI-generated responses may occasionally be incomplete or inaccurate. Verify important recommendations in Resource Guru before making scheduling or staffing decisions.

Check that:

• The MCP Server is enabled in Resource Guru

• You have access to the Resource Guru account

• The OAuth sign-in process completed successfully

Check that:

• The endpoint URL is correct

• The MCP Server is enabled

• Your AI tool supports remote MCP servers

If an administrator disables the MCP Server:

• New connections will be blocked

• Existing authenticated sessions will be revoked

Re-enable the MCP Server and reconnect your tool.

Click on the toggle at the top and confirm your action by clicking on Disable in the pop-up window.
