Already Vibe Coding? Make It Context-Aware.
Connect your AI coding assistant to your actual documentation. No more explaining your codebase from scratch every time.
If you're using Cursor, Copilot, or any AI coding assistant, you've probably noticed the pattern: every conversation starts from scratch.
You explain your architecture. Again. You describe your coding conventions. Again. You provide context about why things are built a certain way. Again.
It's like having a brilliant colleague with amnesia.
The Context Problem
AI coding assistants are great at the code part. They struggle with the context part. They don't know:
- Your product requirements
- Why you made certain architectural decisions
- What your internal style guide says
- The history behind that weird workaround in the auth module
This context lives in your docs, your Notion pages, your Confluence wikis, your README files scattered across repos. The AI can't access any of it.
The Fix: MCP Integration
We built an MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration that connects Needle to your coding environment. Here's what that means in practice:
- Put your documentation, specs, and architecture docs in a Needle Collection
- Connect the MCP server to Cursor (or any MCP-compatible tool)
- Your AI assistant now has access to your actual documentation
When you ask about implementing a feature, the AI can now reference your product spec. When you ask about coding patterns, it can check your style guide. When you ask why something works a certain way, it can find the original design doc.
What Changes
Before:
"I'm building a user auth system. We use NextAuth with a custom adapter for our Postgres database. Our convention is to put all auth logic in /lib/auth and we prefer explicit error handling over try-catch blocks..."
After:
"Add password reset to auth."
The AI already knows your setup. It's read your docs.
Get Started
The MCP integration is available now. If you're already using Needle for documentation, it's a few lines of config to connect it to Cursor.
Jan Heimes is Co-founder at Needle. He vibes codes daily and hasn't explained his auth system from scratch in weeks.
