Connecting Cursor
Configure Cursor's MCP support to consume the MemberPass server.
Requirements
- Cursor 0.46 or newer (MCP support GA).
- A MemberPass personal access token with
mcp:full.
Config
Cursor's MCP configuration lives at ~/.cursor/mcp.json on macOS / Linux and %APPDATA%\Cursor\mcp.json on Windows.
Add the server
Open the config file and merge:
{
"mcpServers": {
"memberpass": {
"url": "https://mcp.memberpass.net",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer mpt_live_YOUR_TOKEN"
}
}
}
}Restart Cursor.
Verify
Open Composer (or chat) and ask:
Using the memberpass server, list my projects.
Cursor shows the tool invocation in its sidebar. You can approve each call individually or toggle "auto-approve for session" on the memberpass namespace.
Project-scoped versus user-scoped
Cursor also supports per-workspace .cursor/mcp.json. If you want the memberpass integration only active inside a specific repo, put the config there instead of the global location. Useful when you have a repo-specific MemberPass automation you want the AI agent to help with.
Troubleshooting
- Tool list empty: check Cursor's "MCP" panel in the settings drawer for connection errors.
- 403 on every call: token missing
mcp:full. - 404 on specific tools: token missing the per-entity ability the tool enforces — see the tools reference.
