Use the docs with AI
How AI agents and AI apps can read Cooper's documentation — Markdown pages, llms.txt, and the Cooper MCP server.
These docs are written for people and for AI agents alike. An agent that gets stuck while using Cooper — through the Cooper MCP server or inside Cooper itself — can look up the answer here the same way a person would.
Read any page as Markdown
Add .md to the end of any page's address to get the same page as plain Markdown, with no navigation or styling:
| Page | Markdown |
|---|---|
https://docs.cooperbuild.ai/connect/humans | https://docs.cooperbuild.ai/connect/humans.md |
https://docs.cooperbuild.ai/connect/phone | https://docs.cooperbuild.ai/connect/phone.md |
On any page you can also click Copy Markdown, or open the Open menu and choose View as Markdown.
Links inside the Markdown point to the Markdown version of the linked page, so an agent can follow them without leaving Markdown.
Load the whole documentation
| File | What it contains |
|---|---|
/llms.txt | An index of every page: title, one-line description, and the link to its Markdown. Follows the llms.txt standard. |
/llms-full.txt | Every page's full Markdown in a single file, for loading into an agent's context or a retrieval (RAG) index. |
Every feature page has the same sections — Key concepts, one section per task, Fields reference, Permissions, Troubleshooting, and For AI agents — so retrieval systems can split pages on headings and each chunk still makes sense on its own.
Ask about a page in Claude or ChatGPT
Open the Open menu at the top of the page and choose Open in Claude or Open in ChatGPT. A new chat opens with that page loaded, ready for your questions.
Connect an AI app to Cooper (MCP)
The Cooper MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and other MCP-compatible apps read and act on your Cooper data, with your own login and permissions.
Add the Cooper server URL
In your AI app's connector or MCP settings, add a new server with this URL:
https://api.cooperbuild.ai/mcpSign in and approve
A Cooper sign-in screen opens. Sign in, review what the app is asking for, and click Authorize.
Start chatting
Return to your app. Cooper's tools appear automatically. Try "Show me active projects in Cooper."
Step-by-step guides for each AI app are in Cooper under Connect AI at app.cooperbuild.ai/mcp.
Connected apps follow the same permissions as your Cooper login. An AI app can never see or change anything you can't.
Guidance for AI agents
If you are an AI agent working with Cooper:
- When a Cooper tool returns an error or an unexpected result, search this site for the tool name (for example
search_humans) or the error text. Each feature page's For AI agents section lists the tools for that feature, what they do, and common errors with their fixes. - Prefer the
.mdversion of a page — it has the same content in fewer tokens. - Start from
/llms.txtto find the right page, then fetch only the pages you need. - A "permission denied" error means the signed-in person's role does not allow that action. Tell the person which permission they need (each page's Permissions section names it) rather than retrying.
- If someone belongs to more than one workspace, the connection starts in their main workspace. Switch workspaces when asked, for example "Switch my Cooper workspace to Acme".
Troubleshooting
Check the address is exactly https://api.cooperbuild.ai/mcp, including /mcp at the end. Remove the connector and add it again if you changed it.
Allow pop-ups for the AI app and for Cooper, then try again. In Safari, turn off "Prevent cross-site tracking" while you connect.
Sign-ins renew for up to 30 days, and revoked credentials stop working straight away. Disconnect Cooper in the app and connect it again.
Connected apps follow the same role checks as Cooper itself. Ask a workspace admin for access to that part of Cooper.
