Your agent guesses,
fix it
Coding agents pick developer tools from stale training data. Add the Zaira Guide and give them structured, validated answers instead. Setup takes less than a minute.
What's the difference

Add to your agent
Copy this config into your MCP settings. Restart your agent. Done.
Claude Code / Cursor
Add to your MCP settings:
{
"mcpServers": {
"zaira": {
"url": "https://zairalabs.ai/guide/mcp"
}
}
} Any MCP-compatible agent
Point your agent at this URL. No API key required:
https://zairalabs.ai/guide/mcp
REST API
Same data, HTTP endpoints:
https://zairalabs.ai/guide/api/v1
Try it. Ask your agent: "Use the Zaira Guide to find the best auth library for a serverless API." The MCP prefix tells your agent to query the Guide instead of guessing from training data.
