Connect Cursor to Taufinity Studio
Cursor speaks remote MCP natively. After installing, Cursor's chat can call Taufinity tools directly — query dashboards, run BigQuery insights, look up knowledge files — without leaving the IDE.
30-second TL;DR
- Obtain your bearer token from Studio → Settings → API Keys.
- Add the server entry to
~/.cursor/mcp.json(see Installation). - Restart Cursor, open chat, ask "list my Taufinity sites".
Prerequisites
- Cursor version 0.42 or later. Check via Cursor → Help → About.
- The
taufinityCLI signed in:
bash
taufinity version
taufinity auth loginInstallation
Option 1: One-command install
taufinity mcp install --client cursorConfig file location
- macOS:
~/.cursor/mcp.json (user) or <project>/.cursor/mcp.json (project) - Linux:
~/.cursor/mcp.json (user) or <project>/.cursor/mcp.json (project) - Windows:
%USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json (user) or <project>\.cursor\mcp.json (project)
Option 2: Manual install — paste this snippet
{
"mcpServers": {
"taufinity": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://studio.taufinity.io/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_TAUFINITY_TOKEN>"
}
}
}
}Manual config
Edit (or create) ~/.cursor/mcp.json for user scope, or <project>/.cursor/mcp.json for project scope:
json
{
"mcpServers": {
"taufinity-studio": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://studio.taufinity.io/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TAUFINITY_TOKEN"
}
}
}
}Get your token from Studio → Settings → API Keys or with taufinity auth token (if the CLI is installed).

Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Cursor doesn't show the Taufinity server | Config in wrong scope (user vs project) | Confirm which file Cursor is reading; the install command supports --scope project |
tools/list 401 | Token expired | Re-run taufinity auth login, restart Cursor |
| Cursor 0.41 or earlier doesn't support remote MCP | Outdated Cursor | Update Cursor to 0.42+ |
FAQ
Project scope vs user scope? Project scope (<project>/.cursor/mcp.json) keeps the config inside the repo — committable to git so the whole team gets the same MCP config. User scope (~/.cursor/mcp.json) applies to all your Cursor projects. Use project scope when different repos point at different Studio orgs.
Token in committed config? No. The install command writes a placeholder; the actual token is read from your user-scope taufinity CLI config. If you commit the project file to git, only the placeholder ships.
