Cursor MCP Integration

Connect Your Team's Knowledge Base to Cursor

Via MCP, Cursor automatically searches your Contextium docs and loads the right context into every coding session. Your coding standards, architecture decisions, and Cursor rules — shared across your whole team, always up to date.

How the Cursor MCP Integration Works

1

Build Your Knowledge Base in Contextium

Document your team's coding standards, architecture decisions, API conventions, and Cursor rules in Contextium. Organise with tags and projects. Everything is version-controlled and shared across your team.

  • Coding standards and naming conventions
  • Architecture decisions and patterns
  • Cursor rules and AI instructions
  • API specs and endpoint documentation
  • Error handling and testing patterns

Connect Cursor in 60 Seconds

Run the setup command once. Contextium configures the MCP connection in your Cursor settings automatically — no manual config file editing required.

Cursor Loads Your Context Automatically

From the first message in every Cursor session, your AI assistant searches your Contextium library and loads the relevant docs. Ask Cursor about your error handling pattern — it knows it. Ask about the right API format — it knows that too.

  • Cursor searches your docs automatically on each query
  • Relevant context loads without any manual prompting
  • Updates to your Contextium docs are live instantly
  • Every teammate's Cursor gets the same context

Manage Cursor Rules Across Your Whole Team

Stop maintaining separate .cursorrules in every repo. One library, all projects.

Without Contextium

  • Copy .cursorrules between repos manually
  • Rules go stale in old projects
  • New teammates don't know the rules exist
  • No version history — changes are invisible
  • One person maintains rules, rest of team hopes they're current

With Contextium

  • One set of rules in Contextium, available everywhere
  • Update once — live in every teammate's Cursor instantly
  • New teammates connect Cursor and get everything automatically
  • Full version history with diffs and rollback
  • Whole team on the same standards, always

Instant Updates

Update a coding standard in Contextium and it's live in every teammate's Cursor session immediately.

Version Control

Full history for every rule and doc with visual diffs and one-click rollback.

Private & Secure

Workspace-scoped MCP connections with OAuth 2.0. Your docs never leave Contextium's servers.

Semantic Search

Cursor finds the right docs for each query automatically — not just keyword matching.

Cursor MCP Integration — Common Questions

How do I connect Contextium to Cursor?

Run npx @contextium/mcp-server@latest setup in your terminal, select Cursor when prompted, and the setup wizard handles the rest. Your full Contextium library will be available inside Cursor from that point on.

What is MCP and why does it matter for Cursor?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI tools like Cursor connect to external knowledge sources. With MCP, Cursor can search your Contextium docs and load relevant context automatically — without you having to copy-paste anything.

Can I share Cursor rules with my whole team?

Yes. Store your Cursor rules as skills in a shared Contextium workspace. Every teammate who connects Cursor via MCP will automatically have access to the same rules — no per-repo setup, no manual file sharing.

Does Contextium replace .cursorrules files?

Contextium gives you a centralised, versioned, team-wide alternative. Instead of maintaining separate .cursorrules in every repo, you manage one set of rules in Contextium and they're available everywhere via MCP.

Is the Cursor MCP integration free?

Yes. MCP integration is included in all Contextium plans including the free plan. There are no additional charges for MCP connections.

What docs can Cursor access from Contextium?

Any document in your workspace — coding standards, architecture decisions, API specs, Cursor rules, error handling patterns, and any other knowledge your team has documented.
