Connect to Cursor

Overview

Integrate Compliancely directly into Cursor using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Once connected, Cursor can securely access Compliancely verification services and perform compliance checks without leaving your IDE.

Prerequisites

Setup instructions

Option 1: One-Click Install

To open Cursor and automatically add the Compliancely MCP - Install in Cursor

Cursor will automatically:

• Open MCP configuration
• Register the Compliancely MCP server
• Prompt for authentication when first used

Option 2: Manual Configuration

1. Open Cursor Settings
2. Navigate to Tools & Integrations → MCP
3. Select Add MCP Server
4. Add the following configuration:
   JSON

    {
       "mcpServers": {
         "compliancely": {
           "url": "https://mcp.compliancely.com/mcp"
         }
       }
     }

5. Save the configuration
6. Restart Cursor if prompted.

2. Sign in to your Compliancely account.
3. Review requested permissions.
4. Authorize access.

Once completed, Cursor can securely access Compliancely services using OAuth authentication.
