Cursor

The Cursor integration lets your IDE assistant reach Parallect through MCP, so research and Parallect-backed actions can sit alongside your code. This guide walks through setup from the in-app Integrations page, config generation, verification, and common fixes.

What this integration enables

With MCP connected, Cursor's agent can invoke Parallect as a tool (subject to what the MCP server exposes and your account permissions). Typical wins:

• Research without leaving the editor -- Ask the agent to run or consult Parallect instead of copy-pasting into a browser.
• Tighter loops -- Turn code questions into cited research or summaries without breaking flow.

Exact capabilities evolve with the server and Cursor; start from the Integrations page for the current tool list.

Step-by-step setup (Integrations page)

1. Open Integrations in Parallect.
2. Find the Cursor card and open the setup dialog.
3. Generate or attach an API key when prompted -- keys authenticate MCP to your account.
4. Copy the generated MCP configuration (JSON snippet) to your clipboard.

Don't close the dialog until you've copied everything you need; you can always regenerate or create another key if something leaks.

MCP config generation and copying

Parallect builds a config block that points Cursor at the MCP server:

• Server URL: https://parallect.ai/api/mcp/mcp
• Authentication via your API key in the shape the template expects

Paste the snippet into Cursor's MCP settings location as shown in Cursor's current docs (path and UI labels change between versions -- use Cursor's MCP or Features settings and follow their "add server" flow).

Verifying the connection

After saving config:

1. Restart Cursor if the docs recommend it for MCP changes.
2. Open a chat or agent panel and ask it to list MCP tools or perform a harmless Parallect action (e.g. a small read-only call if available).
3. Confirm no auth errors in Cursor's MCP or output logs.
