AI & LLM Setup

Dispatch provides multiple ways to integrate with AI code editors and LLM-powered tools. Choose the approach that fits your workflow — from zero-config doc references to a full MCP server with live webhook management.

Option 1: Use llms.txt (No Setup)

The fastest way to give your AI assistant context about Dispatch. No API key, no install — just reference the URL in your prompt.

Quick use

In any AI chat window, type this to give the assistant Dispatch documentation:

@web https://dispatch.tech/llms.txt

This works in Cursor, Windsurf, and other editors that support @web references.

For complete documentation (all pages in a single file):

@web https://docs.dispatch.tech/llms-full.txt

Add as custom docs in Cursor

1. Press ⌘ + ⇧ + P (Mac) or Ctrl + ⇧ + P (Windows/Linux)
2. Type Add new custom docs
3. Add this URL:

https://dispatch.tech/llms.txt

Now you can type @docs in chat and choose Dispatch to provide context automatically.

Save as a project rule

To make Dispatch docs available in every conversation for a project:

Cursor:

curl -L https://dispatch.tech/llms.txt --create-dirs -o .cursor/rules/dispatch.mdc

Claude Code:

curl -L https://dispatch.tech/llms.txt --create-dirs -o .claude/rules/dispatch.md

What's in each file?

File	URL	Best for
llms.txt	https://dispatch.tech/llms.txt	Quick overview — features, integrations, pricing, MCP tools
llms-full.txt	https://docs.dispatch.tech/llms-full.txt	Complete docs — all pages, setup guides, API reference

Option 2: MCP Server (Full Control)

The MCP server goes beyond documentation — it lets your AI assistant manage your webhooks directly. List sources, create destinations, inspect events, configure filters, and more through natural language.

This requires an API key but gives you live, two-way interaction with your Dispatch project.

See the full MCP Server setup guide for installation instructions.

Quick install

Claude Code:

claude mcp add dispatch \
  -e DISPATCH_API_KEY=dsp_your_api_key_here \
  -- npx @dispatch.tech/mcp

Cursor: Click here to install in Cursor

Which should I use?

	llms.txt	MCP Server
Setup	None	API key + install
What it does	Gives AI context about Dispatch	AI can read & write your Dispatch config
Use case	Writing code that integrates with Dispatch	Managing webhooks from your editor
Works with	Any AI tool that supports URLs	Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code

You can use both — llms.txt for coding context and MCP for live management.
