# Cursor

> Cursor is an AI-powered integrated development environment (IDE) developed by Anysphere. It is a fork of Visual Studio Code.

## Prerequisites

Before you can configure and use Cursor with Connect AI, you must first do the following:

* Install the Cursor IDE.

* Generate an [OAuth JWT bearer token](/ja/API/Authentication-Embedded). Copy this down, as it acts as your password during authentication.

## Connect Cursor to the Connect AI MCP

<Steps>
  <Step>
    In the Cursor IDE, go to **Cursor Settings**. Then click **Tools & MCP**, and then click **New MCP Server.** The file `mcp.json` opens automatically in the Cursor IDE.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Copy and paste the following into the `mcp.json` file. Replace the authorization header with the credentials obtained in the prerequisites.

    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "cdata-mcp": {
          "url": "https://mcp.cloud.cdata.com/mcp",
          "headers": {
            "Authorization": "Bearer OAUTH_JWT_TOKEN" //Replace with your OAuth JWT Token
          }
        }
      }
    }
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Return to **Tools & MCP** under **Cursor Settings**. Confirm that Cursor is connected to CData's MCP Server. You should see **cdata-mcp** listed with a green indicator.

  <Step>
    You can now chat with the assistant. Cursor lists the available tools, the connections, and a result set of a given table of a given connection. By default, Cursor asks for confirmation before executing MCP tool actions.
