Cursor

Cursor supports remote MCP servers with a single JSON config block.

Setup

Create or edit .cursor/mcp.json in your home directory (global) or project root (project-level):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "echosift": {
      "url": "https://mcp.echosift.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Cursor. On first use Cursor should prompt the OAuth browser flow (same Stripe-like pattern as Claude Code).

If OAuth does not trigger automatically

Some Cursor versions do not yet initiate the OAuth flow on their own. In that case, generate an API key from Settings > Integrations in EchoSift and pass it as a header:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "echosift": {
      "url": "https://mcp.echosift.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer es_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

See Authentication for key creation instructions.

Verify

Open Cursor’s MCP panel or run a chat message referencing EchoSift. You should see the 8 tools listed.
