Cursor

Cursor talks to Hourdini directly. No bridge or extra install.

What you'll need

• Cursor v0.48 or newer.
• A Hourdini Personal Access Token. Generate one at /cli/connect, and copy it now.

Step 1: Open Cursor's MCP settings

Open Settings → Tools & MCP. You'll see a list of connected MCP servers (probably empty). Click Edit mcp.json.

The file lives at:

User scope makes Hourdini available everywhere. Workspace scope limits it to one project.

Step 2: Paste this snippet

Replace hd_pat_live_•••• with your actual token.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hourdini": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://hourdini.app/api/mcp/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer hd_pat_live_••••"
      }
    }
  }
}

Save.

Step 3: Restart Cursor

Quit and reopen Cursor. After restart, Settings → Tools & MCP should list hourdini as connected.

Step 4: Try it

Open the chat panel and ask:

Log 45 minutes on the Acme dashboard project, "design review".

Cursor should call Hourdini's log_time tool and confirm.

Troubleshooting

hourdini shows as "failed". Check that your token is correct and that you used the exact URL https://hourdini.app/api/mcp/mcp.

Cursor doesn't pick up the changes. Fully quit Cursor (not just close the window) and reopen.
