Cursor is an AI-powered code editor. The Cursor MCP server lets you launch and manage cloud agents that work on your GitHub repositories using natural language.

​
What Can It Do?

  • Launch cloud agents to work on GitHub repositories
  • Monitor agent status and view conversation history
  • Send follow-up instructions to running agents
  • Stop and delete agents when done

​
Where to Use It

Add Cursor as a tool to any agent. The agent can then interact with Cursor conversationally, choosing the right actions based on context. To add an MCP tool to your agent:
  1. Open your agent’s configuration
  2. Click Add tools → Connect an app with MCP
  3. Search for the integration and select it
  4. Authenticate with your account
You can control which tools your agent has access to. After adding an integration, click on it to enable or disable specific tools based on what your agent needs.

​
In Workflows (Via Agent Node)

For automated pipelines, use an Agent Node with Cursor tools. This gives you the flexibility of an agent within a deterministic workflow.

​
As a Custom MCP Node

You can also create a standalone MCP node for a specific action. This generates a reusable node that performs one task, useful when you need the same operation repeatedly in workflows.
To create a custom MCP node:
  1. Go to your node library and search for the integration
  2. Click Create a node with AI
  3. Describe the specific action you want (e.g., “Launch an agent to fix the login bug”)
  4. Test the node and save it for reuse
Custom MCP nodes are single-purpose by design. For tasks that require multiple steps or dynamic decision-making, use an agent instead.

​
Troubleshooting

Agents are smart enough to chain multiple API calls together. If results seem off, check the agent’s step-by-step reasoning.
