Cursor

Cursor supports OAuth for remote Streamable HTTP servers. Add the URL through Cursor settings or mcp.json; do not add a PrompTessor API key or Authorization header.

For global access, add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json or use .cursor/mcp.json inside one project.

  1. 1

    Choose where the connection lives

    Use ~/.cursor/mcp.json for all projects or .cursor/mcp.json in a repository for project-specific configuration.

  2. 2

    Add the remote server

    Paste the JSON below, save the file, then open Cursor Settings and find MCP to confirm that PrompTessor appears.

  3. 3

    Enable and authenticate

    Enable the server and select its login or authentication action. Sign in to PrompTessor and approve the OAuth scopes in your browser.

  4. 4

    Review available tools

    Open Agent, select Available Tools or the tools control, and enable only the PrompTessor tools needed for the task.

  5. 5

    Verify

    Ask Cursor to check your PrompTessor usage. Cursor should invoke get_usage and return the connected account limits.

Cursor CLI

The Cursor CLI uses the same MCP configuration. Run agent mcp login promptessor to authenticate and agent mcp list-tools promptessor to inspect the discovered tools.
