#Cursor

AI-first code editor. Project-scoped MCP config in .cursor/mcp.json. mcpvault setup detects active Cursor projects.

#Status

Auto-wired — mcpvault setup writes the config file for you.

#Config file

macOS: <project>/.cursor/mcp.json (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for global)

Windows: <project>\.cursor\mcp.json (or %USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json)

Linux: <project>/.cursor/mcp.json (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for global)

#Setup

Run once from any directory:

bash
mcpvault setup

mcpvault detects Cursor and writes the config file above. To force just this client:

bash
mcpvault setup --client cursor

#Restart

Cursor → Settings → MCP → toggle the server off/on, or restart Cursor. Reloading the window is usually enough.

#Notes

• Cursor expects the same mcpServers shape as Claude Desktop.
• If you want the same vault across every project, use the ~/.cursor/mcp.json global file.

#Verify

Run mcpvault doctor --client cursor to confirm Cursor sees the vault.
