MCP on Cursor

Configure Cursor to use Onboard MCP over the hosted HTTP/SSE endpoint.

Cursor can connect to Onboard’s hosted MCP server using the HTTP/SSE transport. Use the production SSE URL documented on MCP setup.

Cursor ~/.cursor/mcp.json

Add an Onboard server entry next to your existing MCP servers. Replace API_TOKEN_HERE with an Onboard API key from Integrations → API.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "onboard": {
      "url": "https://rest.onboard.io/mcp/sse",
      "headers": {
        "X-Onboard-Api-Token": "API_TOKEN_HERE",
        "X-Onboard-MCP-Provider": "cursor"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your Cursor build must support URL-based MCP servers (remote SSE). If the UI only offers command-based servers, use another client that supports hosted MCP or see MCP setup for the full endpoint list.

Merge with an existing Cursor config

If your current ~/.cursor/mcp.json already has other servers, keep them and add onboard as another entry under mcpServers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "@magicuidesign/mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@magicuidesign/mcp@latest"]
    },
    "onboard": {
      "url": "https://rest.onboard.io/mcp/sse",
      "headers": {
        "X-Onboard-Api-Token": "API_TOKEN_HERE",
        "X-Onboard-MCP-Provider": "cursor"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Cursor or reload MCP servers after saving the file.

Development host

For a development tenant against hosted dev REST, use https://dev-rest.onboard.io/mcp/sse with the same headers pattern as above.
