Takos MCP - Up-to-date Docs For Any Cursor Prompt

❌ Without Takos

LLMs rely on outdated or generic information about the libraries you use. You get:

• ❌ Code examples are outdated and based on year-old training data
• ❌ Hallucinated APIs don't even exist
• ❌ Generic answers for old package versions

✅ With Takos

Takos MCP pulls up-to-date, version-specific documentation and code examples straight from the source — and places them directly into your prompt.

Add use takos to your question in Cursor:

"How do I use the new Next.js `after` function? use takos"

"How do I invalidate a query in React Query? use takos"

"How do I protect a route with NextAuth? use takos"

Takos fetches up-to-date documentation and working code examples right into your LLM's context.

• 1️⃣ Ask your question naturally
• 2️⃣ Tell the LLM to use takos
• 3️⃣ Get working code answers

No tab-switching, no hallucinated APIs that don't exist, no outdated code generations.
