Connect Cursor

Prerequisites

• Cursor 0.43 or later (MCP support added in 0.43)
• A Wicket member key — see the Quickstart if you don’t have one yet

Configuration

Global (~/.cursor/mcp.json)

Create or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wicket": {
      "url": "https://mcp.wicket.sh/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <your-member-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

This makes the server available in every Cursor workspace.

Project-scoped (.cursor/mcp.json)

Create .cursor/mcp.json at the repo root for project-local config. Same JSON structure as the global file.

Tip

Commit .cursor/mcp.json without the key — use an environment variable reference or leave key rotation to each developer.

Restart Cursor after saving.

Verify

Open a new Cursor chat (Agent mode) and ask:

List my GitHub repositories.

Cursor calls the Wicket-proxied GitHub tool. The result appears inline and the call is logged in the Wicket Audit tab.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Likely cause
Tools not visible in Agent mode	mcp.json path wrong or Cursor not restarted
401 Unauthorized	Wrong or expired member key — regenerate in Wicket
403 Forbidden	Agent disabled or member not approved
Tool call blocked	Policy deny — check the Audit tab
