Cursor

Cursor reads MCP servers from a JSON file at two scopes and runs the OAuth flow itself. The one-click button below writes the same file for you.

The only value you need

• Time 1 minute
• Transport HTTP streamable
• Auth OAuth — in-app
• Config mcp.json

One click

This opens Cursor and writes the config for you. Cursor asks you to confirm before it installs anything.

Add Lovie to Cursor

Or through Settings

1. Open Cursor Settings — ⇧⌘J on macOS, Ctrl + Shift + J on Windows and Linux.
2. Choose Customize, then the MCP section.
3. Add a new server and paste https://mcp.lovie.co/mcp. Name it lovie.
4. Cursor writes it into mcp.json and shows the server in the list.

Or write the file

Scope	File
Every project	~/.cursor/mcp.json
This project	.cursor/mcp.json at the repo root

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lovie": {
      "url": "https://mcp.lovie.co/mcp"
    }
  }
}

A remote server is identified by having a url. The type field is only needed for local stdio servers, which run a command instead.

Sign in

1. Save the file. Cursor picks it up and lists lovie, usually flagged as needing login.
2. Click it. Cursor runs the OAuth flow and the Lovie sign-in opens.
3. Approve. Cursor completes the exchange on its own redirect — https://www.cursor.com/agents/mcp/oauth/callback in the browser, or http://localhost:8787/callback on the desktop app.
4. Make sure the server toggle is on, then use Agent mode — Ask mode does not call tools.

Check it worked

• “Using Lovie, list the companies I belong to.”
• “Pull my cap table and write it into a markdown table.”

If something goes wrong

Symptom	Cause
Server listed, tools greyed out	The toggle is off, or you are in Ask mode. Tool calls need Agent mode.
Nothing happens after saving	Invalid JSON — usually a trailing comma. Cursor fails silently on a malformed mcp.json.
Login window closes with nothing happening	A browser blocking the callback redirect. Retry with the default browser, or use the desktop app.
Config written but ignored	Two files disagree. A project .cursor/mcp.json takes precedence over the one in your home directory.
