Overview

Cursor is an AI-powered code editor that supports MCP tools. Connect your Pylar tools to Cursor to give the AI assistant access to your data through governed views while coding.

​
Prerequisites

  • ✅ Cursor editor installed
  • ✅ Pylar project with published MCP tools
  • ✅ MCP HTTP Stream URL and Bearer Token from Pylar

​
Step 1: Get Your Pylar Credentials

  1. In Pylar, navigate to your project
  2. Click “Publish” in the right sidebar
  3. Generate your token if needed
  4. Copy both:
    • MCP HTTP Stream URL: https://mcp.publish.pylar.ai/mcp
    • Authorization Bearer Token: Your unique token

​
Step 2: Configure Cursor

  1. Open Cursor
  2. Go to Settings → Features → MCP
  3. Or open Cursor settings file directly

​
Step 3: Add Pylar MCP Server

Add Pylar to your MCP configuration: Configuration Path: ~/.cursor/mcp.json or Cursor settings Configuration: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pylar": {
      "url": "https://mcp.publish.pylar.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}
Replace YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE with your actual Bearer Token.

  2. Restart Cursor
  3. Cursor will connect to your Pylar MCP server

​
Step 5: Verify Connection

  2. Ask: “What MCP tools do you have available?”
  3. Cursor should list your Pylar tools

​
Using Your Tools in Cursor

Once connected, you can use Pylar tools while coding: Example: “Use the customer revenue tool to get data for account ID 12345” Cursor will:
  1. Call your Pylar MCP tool
  2. Retrieve data from your view
  3. Use the data in your code or conversation
  4. Help you build applications with real data

​
