Chat with your docs inside VS Code and Cursor

David Garcia ·

Your documentation now works inside your development environment, plus the chatbot got more accurate.

Here's what shipped in June:

MCP Server: IDE integration

MCP Server integration

Connect AI development tools like Cursor, VS Code, and Claude Desktop to your Biel.ai project using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.

How it works:

  • The MCP server bridges your AI coding assistant and your Biel.ai project
  • Your IDE queries project docs in real time
  • Get smarter completions, accurate answers, and context-aware suggestions directly in your workflow

Example queries:

  • "What are the auth headers for /users?"
  • "What setup steps do new devs need?"
  • "What's our staging checklist?"

Customize the integration and share access with teammates or external users.

AI Assistant v2: Fewer hallucinations

Assistant V2

The new default prompt is designed specifically for technical documentation.

Key improvements:

  • Stricter context use: Only responds based on available documentation
  • Fewer hallucinations: Won't answer unless it has high certainty
  • Improved accuracy: More built-in safeguards for precision
  • Active disambiguation: Asks for clarification when questions are unclear

The trade-off? AI Assistant v2 stays silent when information is missing, even if it could infer an answer. Fewer speculative responses, much higher reliability.

Prefer broader coverage? You can still use AI Assistant v1 or define custom prompts.
