MCP Reference

Cursor

Connect the Parcel MCP server to Cursor via the MCP JSON config.

Cursor supports remote MCP servers via its mcp.json config file. Add the Parcel entry, reload Cursor, and authenticate once.

Setup

  1. Open your MCP config

    Use ~/.cursor/mcp.json for a global config, or .cursor/mcp.json inside a project for a project-scoped config.

  2. Add the Parcel server

    ~/.cursor/mcp.json
    {
    "mcpServers": {
    "parcel": {
    "url": "https://mcp.parcelengineering.com/mcp"
    }
    }
    }
  3. Reload Cursor

    Reload the window so Cursor picks up the new server.

  4. Authenticate

    Open Settings → MCP, find the Parcel entry, and click Authenticate. Complete the Parcel OAuth login: sign in with Microsoft or Google, or enter your work email and the 6-digit code, then pick a workspace.

Verify it works

In a Cursor chat session, ask the assistant to run search_projects. If it returns project data, the connection is working. The full tool list is on the Available Tools page.
