Connect Cursor

Cursor takes the same MCP config JSON as Claude Desktop, added through its own settings UI.

Verified

This is the same JSON PMM Tools' own key-management page (/private/mcp) shows signed-in users for Cursor, in production today.

  1. 1. Get an API key

    Sign in to PMM Tools and open /private/mcp. Click “Generate key” and copy it — the raw key is shown once.

  2. 2. Add the server in Cursor

    Open Cursor's settings → Features → Model Context Protocol, and add an entry with your own key in place of the placeholder:

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "pmm": {
          "url": "https://www.pmmtools.com/api/mcp",
          "headers": {
            "Authorization": "Bearer pmm_live_YOUR_KEY"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  3. 3. Verify the connection

    Cursor's MCP settings panel shows a green status once it can reach the server. In a chat, ask something that needs your data, e.g. “What competitors am I tracking in PMM Tools?” — it should call pmm_competitor_list and answer from the result.
