Setting Up MCP with Cursor IDE

Connect Zuro to Cursor IDE to manage your knowledge bases directly from your code editor.

Prerequisites

• Professional or Enterprise Plan
• Cursor IDE installed
• MCP Key from your Zuro account

Step 1: Get Your MCP Key

1. Log in to Zuro
2. Go to Settings → Security → MCP Keys
3. Click "Create MCP Key"
4. Name it "Cursor IDE"
5. Select the permissions you need
6. Copy the key - you'll only see it once!

Step 2: Configure MCP in Cursor

Option 1: Using Settings UI (Easiest)

1. Open Cursor IDE
2. Press Cmd + Shift + J (Mac) or Ctrl + Shift + J (Windows/Linux)
3. Go to Features → MCP
4. Click "Add Server" or "Configure"
5. Enter:
   • Name: zuro
   • Command: npx
   • Args: -y, mcp-remote, https://api.zuro.me/api/mcp?key=YOUR_MCP_KEY_HERE
6. Replace YOUR_MCP_KEY_HERE with your actual key
7. Save

Option 2: Using Config File

1. Find or create .cursor/mcp.json in your workspace
2. Add this (replace YOUR_MCP_KEY_HERE with your key):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zuro": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://api.zuro.me/api/mcp?key=YOUR_MCP_KEY_HERE"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Restart Cursor

1. Quit Cursor IDE completely
2. Restart the application
3. Cursor will load the new configuration

Step 4: Test It

Open the AI chat in Cursor (Cmd/Ctrl + L) and ask:

• "List my knowledge bases"
• "Show me articles in my documentation"

If the AI can see your knowledge bases, it's working!

Using MCP with Cursor

Now you can ask Cursor's AI to:

• "Create documentation for this function"
• "Update the API documentation article"
• "Show me analytics for my docs"
• "Generate a new article from this code comment"
• "Keep the docs in sync with this code"

Integration Tips

Documenting Code:

• "Document this API endpoint in my knowledge base"
• "Create a guide for using this library"

Keeping Docs Updated:

• "Update the docs when I change this function"
• "Generate release notes from my commits"

Troubleshooting

AI can't connect?

• Verify your MCP key is correct
• Check you have Professional or Enterprise plan
• Make sure you restarted Cursor
• Check the JSON syntax is valid

"Command not found" error?

• Make sure Node.js is installed
• You can download it from nodejs.org

Can't find MCP settings?

• Make sure Cursor is up to date
• Try the config file method instead
• Use keyboard shortcut Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + J

Rate limit errors?

• Professional: 1,000 requests/hour
• Enterprise: 5,000 requests/hour
