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
-
Open your MCP config
Use
~/.cursor/mcp.jsonfor a global config, or.cursor/mcp.jsoninside a project for a project-scoped config. -
Add the Parcel server
~/.cursor/mcp.json {"mcpServers": {"parcel": {"url": "https://mcp.parcelengineering.com/mcp"}}} -
Reload Cursor
Reload the window so Cursor picks up the new server.
-
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.
Cursor’s MCP config key names and authentication flow may change between releases. Verify the exact structure against Cursor’s current MCP documentation before setting up.
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.
The first tool call triggers the OAuth login. Subsequent calls in the same session use the stored token.
