# Connect Cursor

> Connect Cursor to Superdata with Streamable HTTP MCP.

Use these steps with Cursor IDE.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Tools and MCP">
    In Cursor, open **Cursor Settings**, then choose **Tools & MCP** and select
    **Add Custom MCP**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add Superdata">
    Cursor opens an `mcp.json` file. Add Superdata as a Streamable HTTP server:

    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "superdata": {
          "type": "streamable-http",
          "url": "https://api.superdata.so/mcp"
        }
      }
    }
    ```

    Use `~/.cursor/mcp.json` for a global connection, or `.cursor/mcp.json` for
    a project-specific connection.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your account">
    Save the file, return to **Tools & MCP**, connect Superdata, and complete
    browser sign-in with your Superdata account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use Superdata">
    Open a fresh Cursor chat and ask Cursor to retrieve a known LinkedIn profile
    or company URL with Superdata.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## API-key configuration

If your Cursor environment cannot complete browser sign-in, create an API key
from **Connections** and add an authorization header:

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "superdata": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://api.superdata.so/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sd_live_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

<Warning>
  Keep API keys in your personal global Cursor config or secure credential
  storage. Do not commit a project `.cursor/mcp.json` that contains a bearer
  token.
