Cursor

Cursor supports remote MCP servers through mcp.json.

Choose a config location

Use one of these locations:

  • ~/.cursor/mcp.json for a global setup
  • .cursor/mcp.json in a project for a project-specific setup

Add the UserJot server

Add this configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "userjot": {
      "url": "https://api.userjot.com/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:USERJOT_API_TOKEN}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set your token

Set USERJOT_API_TOKEN in your shell or environment before launching Cursor.

Using an environment variable is better than hardcoding the token directly into mcp.json.

Restart and verify

Restart Cursor after updating the config, then open an agent chat and confirm the userjot MCP server appears in the available tools list.

If the server does not appear, check:

  • the JSON is valid
  • the file is in the correct location
  • the environment variable is available to Cursor
  • the token has not been revoked
