Connect Cursor to Agent Authority

The AI-first code editor and CLI with built-in MCP support. Once connected, Cursor reaches every tool your organization has approved through a single governed endpoint — every call authenticated, policy-checked, and audited.

Setup

1. Add the MCP server — Add the following to .cursor/mcp.json in your project (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for global):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "secureauth": {
      "url": "https://your-gateway-url/gateway/mcp"
    }
  }
}

2. Authenticate

agent mcp login secureauth

Or authenticate via the browser prompt on first MCP tool use in the editor.

The agent is auto-registered on first connect. Works in both the editor and CLI (agent).

Connecting to just one MCP?To stay under an agent's tool limit, point the URL at a single MCP — /gateway/mcp/{slug} instead of /gateway/mcp. Grab the exact URL from the resource's detail page; see Scope a connection to one MCP.

Next steps

• Create a policy — control which tools Cursor can call.
• Monitor activity — watch its tool calls appear in the dashboard and audit log.
• Audit log — filter and search every tool call Cursor makes.
