Do I need an API key?

No. Your agent opens your browser; sign in, or create an account, and approve. Each connection is listed in Settings → API, where you can revoke it. Keys are only for CI and scripts.

What if a draft is wrong?

It waits in Changes next to the current text. Edit it or reject it with a reason. Nothing reaches customers until someone accepts.

Do I need the coding agent to start?

No. The Content Wizard drafts a help center from your URL, and the dashboard editor does the rest. The agent is how it stays right.

What does a sync run cost in tokens?

Your agent runs the skill on your own model and your own plan with its provider. Helprism charges nothing per run, and a run that finds nothing to change is free.

Can I try it before I pay?

Yes. Every workspace starts with a 14-day free trial, no card needed, and you can start it from your agent: the sign-in creates the account. During the trial your agent can also create and edit articles. After that it is Pro at $49 a month or Business at $99, flat per workspace.

Do I need the GitHub App?

No. It is an optional beta on Business for teams that want the server-side door.

Helprism — Your next PR writes its own help article

The whole journey

Painless on day one. Still right a year later.

Three moments. Your coding agent can drive each one, and each one also works from the Helprism dashboard.

1Day one

A help center from your product, in minutes

Two doors, same result: categories and draft articles you review and publish.

From your coding agent

> Set up our help center in Helprism from this repo
Created categories and draft articles from your README, routes and settings.

Creating articles from your agent works during the trial and on Business. On Pro, your agent keeps the articles you have right.

Or paste your URL

The Content Wizard reads your site and drafts a first help center. Import Markdown any time.

2Week one

Answers on your site and inside your product

The AI answer bot and the widget answer from your articles and cite them, with the date each one was last verified. Included, with no per-answer fee.

Widget · AI answer

“Add Helprism to your agent, then sign in when your browser opens. No API key needed.”

Source: Connect your coding agent · Verified 2 days ago

Your agent can ask the same question from the terminal: ask_knowledge returns the answer with sources and their freshness.

3Every PR after that

Articles update themselves when you ship

The agent that wrote the change runs the Helprism skill at PR time. It writes a one-line impact note, or “none”. When a sentence a customer reads became wrong, it drafts the full rewrite and sends it for review. A person accepts, edits or rejects. Readers see the date.

A change with nothing for customers is logged as "No help center impact", with the reason, and costs nothing.
Review in Helprism, or from the terminal through MCP.
Optional GitHub App for teams that prefer it server-side (Business, beta).

Connect in a minute

Connect your coding agent with one sign-in

Add Helprism to your agent, then sign in when your browser opens. No API key. No account yet? That sign-in creates one and starts your 14-day trial, no card.

Install the plugin: the Helprism server and the sync skill in one go

/plugin marketplace add helprism/agent-plugins
/plugin install helprism@helprism

Paste both lines into Claude Code; the plugin is also in the Claude plugin directory. The first time your agent uses Helprism, your browser opens: sign in, pick the workspace and approve.

Only want the tools? claude mcp add --transport http helprism https://api.helprism.com/mcp then run /mcp and authenticate.

Add the server to .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "helprism": {
      "url": "https://api.helprism.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor opens your browser to sign in the first time. To sync at PR time, add the helprism-sync skill as a project rule: helprism.com/skills/helprism-sync/SKILL.md

Add the server to .vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "helprism": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.helprism.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code opens your browser to sign in the first time. No key in the file, so it is safe to commit.

npx -y @helprism/mcp@latest login

Then add the server and the skill

codex mcp add helprism -- npx -y @helprism/mcp@latest
mkdir -p ~/.codex/skills/helprism-sync
curl -fsSL https://helprism.com/skills/helprism-sync/SKILL.md -o ~/.codex/skills/helprism-sync/SKILL.md

The login shows a one-time code and opens your browser: check the code and approve. Nothing to paste. Restart Codex so it picks up the skill.

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, with this URL

https://api.helprism.com/mcp

Works in claude.ai and Claude Desktop. Ask your help center from any chat. Syncing a change runs in a coding agent, where the code is.

Then ask it

Sync

> Run helprism-sync on this change.

At PR time: an impact note, drafts for review, a link. Nothing publishes.

Ask

> What does our help center say about custom domains?

The answer, with sources and how fresh they are.

Set upTrial + Business

> Set up our help center in Helprism from this repo

Categories and draft articles for review. Works during your 14-day trial and on Business; on Pro after the trial, start from your URL in the dashboard.

Each connected tool is listed in Settings → API, and you can revoke it any time. The workspace owner gets an email for every new one. Only CI and scripts use an API key.

Every client and option How sync works, door by door

Nothing auto-publishes

Drafts wait for a person, who accepts, edits or rejects each one with a reason.

Your diff stays on your machine

The agent reads the change locally. Helprism receives drafts and file paths, never code.

$49, flat

Per workspace. No seats, no credits, no charge for a commit that changed nothing.

A complete help center underneath

Everything a public help center needs, with sync from your coding agent on top.

Custom domain and themes

Dark mode, brand color, SEO defaults and a sitemap per workspace.

AI answer bot

Cites verified articles. Included, no per-resolution fee.

Widget

Search and answers in your product. Same stamps, same articles.

Editor and import

Block editor, Markdown import, the URL wizard.

Seven languages

Translations and a language switcher, stamps localized.

Insights

What visitors search and what the bot answered.

MCP server and REST API

Team roles

Owners and admins approve, editors draft.

Two prices. Both flat.

Per workspace. 14-day free trial, no card to start. Compare your team’s real monthly cost.
