Connect Cursor to NocoDB

Cursor works with NocoDB through the NocoDB MCP server. You paste the JSON block from your MCP connection in NocoDB into the MCP settings of Cursor.

	Cursor
Type	Desktop
How it connects	JSON block, over HTTP
You need	An MCP connection

Set up Cursor

Cursor connects directly to the MCP endpoint over HTTP. Thus it does not need the mcp-remote bridge. Its JSON block carries the endpoint URL and the token header.

Open Cursor Settings (⇧+⌘+J).
Open the MCP tab.
Select Add Custom MCP.
Paste the JSON block that you copied here.
Save.

On success, you will see the number of tools enabled below the MCP Server just installed. If you see an error, double-check the JSON configuration.

Cursor MCP Settings

Configuration example

Cursor and Windsurf connect over HTTP, so their block carries the endpoint URL and the token header. Cursor names the address url, and Windsurf names it serverUrl:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "NocoDB MCP": {
      "url": "https://your-domain.com/mcp/<ncId>",
      "headers": { "x-api-key": "<ncToken>" }
    }
  }
}

The JSON block contains your MCP token, which gives access to your NocoDB projects. Do not put it in source control.
