Cursor integration

Connection methods

The server answers initialize, notifications/initialized, tools/list and tools/call over HTTPS POST (JSON-RPC 2.0). Notifications return an empty 202; the same tools are always callable as a plain API.

Setup

1. 1

   Create a token

   Create a project token in Developer settings and copy the one-time mad_ value.
2. 2

   Add .cursor/mcp.json

   Add the server to a project .cursor/mcp.json (or your global config) so Cursor can reach it.

         "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer mad_..." }
       }
     }
   }

3. 3

   Enable and test

   Open Cursor settings → MCP, confirm the server is enabled, then ask Cursor to search the ad library.
