The Restate documentation site includes several features to help you leverage AI coding agents like Cursor and Claude Code in your development workflow.

Contextual menu

Each page of the Restate documentation has a contextual menu in the top right corner that provides quick access to various AI resources: Contextual menu You can use this to quickly hydrate your AI chat with the content of the current page, or to add the Restate docs MCP server to Cursor, or VSCode.

Restate Docs as MCP server

The Restate documentation is available as an MCP server, which you can add to Cursor or other AI coding agents that support MCP. You can either use the shortcuts in the contextual menu or follow the following guidelines:
  • Claude
  • Claude Code
  • Cursor
  • VS Code
  1. Navigate to the Connectors page in the Claude settings.
  2. Select Add custom connector.

AGENTS.md: Coding agent rules

AGENTS.md is a simple markdown file for defining agent instructions. To improve the performance of coding agents when implementing Restate applications, add the following rules to your agent’s context.

Cursor

Cursor automatically picks up the AGENTS.md file when you add it to the root of your project.
wget -O AGENTS.md https://docs.restate.dev/develop/ts/agents.md

Claude Code

Download the AGENTS.md file and put it at the root of your project. You can use the following command to download the script:
wget -O CLAUDE.md https://docs.restate.dev/develop/ts/agents.md

llms.txt and llms-full.txt

The Restate documentation is available in markdown, for easy ingestion by LLMs. Add .md to any page’s URL to view a Markdown version. The documentation also includes llms.txt (navigation structure) and llms-full.txt (full documentation) files.
