If you’re using an AI coding tool and you want it to know how to work with HoneyHive, here’s how to give your agent access to up-to-date HoneyHive documentation.Documentation Index
Fetch the complete documentation index at: https://docs.honeyhive.ai/llms.txt
Use this file to discover all available pages before exploring further.

Real-time doc search from your IDE.
llms.txt
Paste a single URL for full doc context.

Docs MCP Server
HoneyHive documentation includes a built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. When connected, your AI assistant can search and retrieve HoneyHive docs in real-time while generating responses, instead of relying on potentially outdated training data. The HoneyHive docs MCP server is available at:search_honey_hive_ai_docs tool that performs semantic search across all HoneyHive documentation, returning relevant content with direct links to the source pages.
Once connected, you can ask your AI assistant questions about HoneyHive tracing, evaluations, integrations, and more. It searches the documentation directly to provide accurate, current answers.
The docs MCP server indexes both the current (v2) and legacy (v1) documentation. When prompting, tell your agent to use the v2 docs so it pulls from the current SDK and UI references (see Example Prompts).
Cursor
Open Cursor Settings withCmd + Shift + J (Mac) or Ctrl + Shift + J (Windows/Linux), click Tools & MCP in the sidebar, then click New MCP Server. This opens ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Add:
.cursor/mcp.json in your project root instead if you want to commit the config and share it with your team.
Claude Code
Run this command in your terminal to add the server to your current project:--scope user flag:
VS Code / GitHub Copilot
Add the following to your VS Code MCP settings configuration file (.vscode/mcp.json):
MCP: Open User Configuration from the Command Palette to register the server across all workspaces instead of a single project.
Windsurf
Add the following to your Windsurf MCP configuration:Codex CLI
Run this command to register the server in~/.codex/config.toml:
--url flag requires Codex CLI with streamable HTTP support. Upgrade with npm install -g @openai/codex if codex mcp add --url is not recognized.
Claude Desktop
Claude Desktop connects to remote MCP servers through custom connectors in the app, not throughclaude_desktop_config.json (which only supports local stdio servers).
- Open Claude Desktop and go to Settings > Connectors.
- Click Add custom connector.
- Set the name to
honeyhive-docsand the remote MCP server URL tohttps://docs.honeyhive.ai/mcp, then click Add.
ChatGPT
ChatGPT connects to MCP servers through custom connectors:- Go to Settings > Apps & Connectors > Advanced settings and turn on Developer mode.
- Return to Settings > Apps & Connectors and click Create.
- Fill in a name (e.g.
HoneyHive docs) and set the connector URL tohttps://docs.honeyhive.ai/mcp, then click Create.
llms.txt
Thellms.txt file provides a structured overview of HoneyHive documentation optimized for LLM consumption. Include the URL in a prompt to give any AI assistant broad context about HoneyHive’s capabilities.
When to use llms.txt vs. MCP
| llms.txt | MCP Server | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | One-off questions, quick context | Ongoing development, IDE integration |
| How it works | Static file with doc structure and links | Real-time search and page retrieval |
| Setup | Paste a URL | Add to your IDE config |
| Freshness | Updated on each docs deployment | Always live |
Page Quick Actions
Every page in the HoneyHive docs has a contextual menu in the top-right corner with shortcuts for AI tools:- Copy as Markdown - paste the full page content directly into any AI assistant
- View as Markdown - view the raw markdown source of the page
- Open in ChatGPT - open the page in ChatGPT with full context
- Open in Claude - open the page in Claude with full context
- Connect MCP - connect the docs MCP server to your tool
- Add to Cursor - add the docs MCP server directly to Cursor
- Add to VS Code - add the docs MCP server directly to VS Code
Example Prompts
Once you’ve connected HoneyHive docs to your agent, try these prompts. Each explicitly scopes the search to the current (v2) docs so the agent doesn’t pick up pages from the legacy v1 tree.
