MCP Server Setup Guides for Cursor IDE
Cursor reads its MCP configuration from an mcp.json file, and the shape of that file is the same no matter which server you are adding. What changes between servers is the credential: some want an API token in an env block, some hand off to a hosted endpoint over OAuth, and a few reuse a CLI session you have already authenticated.
Every guide below documents the exact config block for one server, where its credential comes from, and what goes wrong when the server does not show up in Cursor. If you have never added a server before, start with the general setup walkthrough, then come back for the specific integration you need.
