Config for your environment

Replace {MCP_ENDPOINT_URL} with this MCP’s endpoint URL (from its repo or docs above). No API key — you connect directly.

Tool

Config file: ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server": {
      "url": "{MCP_ENDPOINT_URL}"
    }
  }
}

Paste into mcpServers in the config file. Restart Cursor after saving.
