# Use an AI coding assistant

AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor and Codex don't know Memgraph well
by default. Give them Memgraph-specific knowledge and access to the current
docs, so they write correct Cypher and follow Memgraph's recommended practices.

## Choose what to give your agent

You can combine these, depending on what the agent needs:

| Your agent needs to | Use |
| --- | --- |
| Write Cypher, model data and use MAGE correctly, with knowledge it loads when a task needs it | [Agent Skills](https://memgraph.com/docs/getting-started/coding-with-ai/skills) |
| Look up the current docs and answer with sources | [Docs MCP server](https://memgraph.com/docs/getting-started/coding-with-ai/docs-mcp) |
| Read the docs without installing anything | [`llms.txt` and Markdown pages](#machine-readable-docs) |
| Query your own Memgraph database | [Memgraph MCP server](https://memgraph.com/docs/ai-ecosystem/integrations/mcp) |
| Remember what it did in earlier sessions | [AI memory](https://memgraph.com/docs/ai-ecosystem/ai-memory), which records your agent's sessions in Memgraph |

## Machine-readable docs

Agents can read the docs directly, without rendering the website:

- **`llms.txt`:** [`https://memgraph.com/docs/llms.txt`](https://memgraph.com/docs/llms.txt) lists the
  main pages of each docs section with a one-line description, in the same
  order as the sidebar. Reference material that an agent can skip when its
  context is short, such as release notes, is grouped under **Optional**.
- **Section `llms.txt` files:** each section has its own `llms.txt` with all
  of its pages, for example `https://memgraph.com/docs/querying/llms.txt`. The
  root `llms.txt` links to them.
- **Markdown pages:** add `.md` to any docs URL to get the page as Markdown,
  for example `https://memgraph.com/docs/querying.md`. Every link in the
  `llms.txt` files points at the Markdown version.

The rest of the Memgraph website has its own index at
[`https://memgraph.com/llms.txt`](https://memgraph.com/llms.txt).

To point your agent at the docs, add the `llms.txt` URL to its project
instructions, for example `CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md` or Cursor rules:
