Cursor

Connect Cursor

Cursor is the smoothest way to use Artifactum day to day. Use the vault address we emailed you, not https://mcp.artifactum.ai/.

What you need

• Your vault address (in the ready email).
• Your access key (sent separately). Keep it out of git and out of chat.
• Cursor, or the Cursor CLI.

Cursor’s own guide: MCP in Cursor.

Add the connector

Put this in ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or a project .cursor/mcp.json you will not commit):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "artifactum": {
      "url": "https://YOUR-VAULT.mcp.artifactum.ai/",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:ARTIFACTUM_MCP_BEARER}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Put the access key in the environment as ARTIFACTUM_MCP_BEARER — the key only, no word Bearer in front. Restart Cursor after you save the file.

If the CLI asks you to log in

The key isn’t in that terminal. Set it there and try again. Don’t run a login command to mint extra apps. The Cursor app and the CLI are separate — a green editor doesn’t feed the terminal.

Try it

1. Confirm Artifactum shows up as connected.
2. Ask Cursor to save a short note into Artifactum.
3. Open a new chat and ask for that note by name.
