# Connect Cursor

> Add Manifold to Cursor and give it search, AI answer, social, ads and people tools.

One click, or paste the URL in the MCP section of Cursor Settings.

The server URL:

```text
https://mcp.manifoldmcp.com/mcp
```

## Steps

1. Choose **Add to Cursor** at the top of this page. Or open **Cursor Settings → MCP**, add a server and paste the URL.
2. Cursor lists Manifold. Choose it to sign in, and approve Cursor in the browser.
3. Ask in the agent chat.

## In mcp.json

To share the server with a project, add it to `.cursor/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "manifold": { "url": "https://mcp.manifoldmcp.com/mcp" }
  }
}
```

To use an API key instead of signing in, add `"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer mk_live_..." }` beside the URL. Keep the key out of version control.
