Cursor is an AI-powered coding assistant designed to help developers write, edit, and understand code more efficiently. It integrates directly with your development environment and uses natural language prompts to streamline coding tasks. Use this guide to connect Cursor to the Sevalla MCP server at https://mcp.sevalla.com/mcp. After setup, Cursor Agent can use Sevalla MCP tools like search and execute.

​
Quick setup (Cursor UI + OAuth)

OAuth is the recommended authentication method. Add Sevalla MCP server to CursorAdd Sevalla MCP server to Cursor
  1. Click the install button above and allow Cursor to open, or go to MCP configuration.
  2. Complete the MCP server install flow in Cursor.
  3. If prompted, confirm the server values:
    • Name: sevalla
    • URL: https://mcp.sevalla.com/mcp
  4. Complete the OAuth browser flow when prompted.
  5. Confirm the server is enabled in your MCP tools list.

​
Manual configuration (mcp.json)

Cursor supports both project and global MCP config files:
  • Project scope: .cursor/mcp.json
  • Global scope: ~/.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sevalla": {
      "url": "https://mcp.sevalla.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
If you need API key auth instead of OAuth, add headers: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sevalla": {
      "url": "https://mcp.sevalla.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:SEVALLA_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

​
Configuration scope

  • Use .cursor/mcp.json when the server config should live with the project.
  • Use ~/.cursor/mcp.json when you want the server available across all projects.
When both are present, keep shared project defaults in .cursor/mcp.json and personal overrides in ~/.cursor/mcp.json.

​
Uninstall

  1. Delete the sevalla entry from either .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global).
  2. Clear cached OAuth tokens, run:
rm -rf ~/.mcp-auth
