Why it's so AWESOME!!!
1
Smarter AI
My AI isn't guessing anymore. It securely sees my JIRA tickets, Confluence docs, and my code at the same time. The suggestions just work!
2
Zero-Friction Flow
The true speed boost is eliminating tab-juggling. Cursor's agent instantly pulls context from all tools via the MCP. I never have to leave the IDE.
3
Totally Secure
All my project data stays safe and sound inside while using MCP. I can use AI on sensitive projects with zero stress about leaks. It's a game-changer.

Secure AI sees code, tickets, docs, and workflow to deliver real assistance.
Message for business leaders: Better tools for engineers means projects finish faster and with higher quality.
