MCP: Cursor Setup
A guide to setting up Cursor with Transcend's MCP
Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global, applies to every workspace) or <project>/.cursor/mcp.json (per-project).
Node Download
Before getting started, ensure you have the following:
- Node ≥ 22.12 must be installed to use Transcend's MCP.
- Cursor.
- OAuth Client configured here.
- The redirect URIs must include http://127.0.0.1:{port}/callback.
1. Open the config
In Cursor: Cursor Settings → Customize → MCP → Add new MCP Server opens the file. Or edit it directly with your editor.
2. Paste the below code
{
"mcpServers": {
"transcend": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@transcend-io/mcp"],
"env": {
"TRANSCEND_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id",
"TRANSCEND_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret",
"TRANSCEND_OAUTH_REDIRECT_PORT": "your-client-redirect-port"
}
}
}
}Replace the client variables with your real Transcend OAuth Client.
3. Restart Cursor
Fully quit (cmd+Q on macOS) and reopen — config edits aren't picked up by a window reload. After reopen, Cursor Settings → Customization → MCP should show the Transcend server with 89 tools.
