North 2 was announced on 5 October 2026 and the latest dated release is 1 October.\n\n**Guru.** Hosted MCP server at https://mcp.api.getguru.com/mcp, registered as com.getguru/mcp-server in the official MCP registry. No public prices, plans or trial, and the pricing page sends everyone to sales.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Cohere North\n\n1. Get the North host from your admin and call https://\u003chost\u003e/api. Cohere-hosted examples use north.cohere.com\n2. Request an OAuth token with only the scopes the task needs, such as chat_v2_ext, rather than a pasted developer token\n3. Retry only when is_retryable is true, waiting retry_after_seconds or Retry-After, with backoff capped near 60 seconds\n4. Strip raw_prompt and raw_generation from chat responses before keeping them in context\n5. Use /v1/responses to call North through the OpenAI SDK by changing the base URL and key\n\n### Guru\n\n1. Ask the person for a Guru account. There's no trial or keyless route, and OAuth needs a pre-approved client\n2. Send `Authorization: Bearer email:token` to the MCP server when OAuth isn't available, and basic auth to https://api.getguru.com/api/v1/\n3. Use a collection token for read-only work. User tokens write with the user's full rights\n4. Follow the `Link` header to page REST search results. Each page holds at most 50 cards\n5. Confirm with a person before archiving or moving cards. Guru documents no confirmation step\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Cohere North or Guru?\n\nCohere North scores 55.4 (C) on agent readiness against Guru's 45.3 (E), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.
