mcp

Connect Cursor

Cursor reads MCP servers from a JSON config. Add Zaai Dev to your mcp.json.

Add the server

  1. 1
    Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json (create it if it doesn't exist). For a single project, you can use .cursor/mcp.json in the project root instead.
  2. 2
    Add the zaai-dev block. If you already have other servers, merge it into the existing mcpServers object — don't replace it.
  3. 3
    Swap zaai_mcp_YOUR_SECRET_HERE for your token (mint one here) and save.
~/.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zaai-dev": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@zaai-dev/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ZAAI_API_TOKEN": "zaai_mcp_YOUR_SECRET_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Verify

Restart Cursor, open Settings → MCP, and confirm zaai-dev is listed and green. Then ask the agent to run whoami or list your captures.

json gotcha

A trailing comma or missing brace silently disables the whole block. Paste the config through a JSON validator if the server doesn't appear.
