Connect Cursor to the Metal MCP server to use your firm’s data directly in the Cursor agent.

​
Prerequisites

  • An organization admin has enabled MCP (see overview).
  • A recent version of Cursor that supports remote MCP servers.

​
Add the server

1

Open MCP settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP & Integrations, then click New MCP server (or Add custom MCP).
2

Add the Metal server

Add an entry pointing at the Metal server URL:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "metal": {
      "url": "https://mcp.metal.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}
3

Authenticate

Cursor opens a browser window to sign in with your Metal account. Approve access, and choose an organization if prompted.

​
Verify

Open the Cursor agent and confirm a metal server appears in the MCP tools list with a green/connected status. Ask the agent something that uses your data, for example:
Search Metal for industrial automation companies and summarize the top three.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Server shows as disconnected — make sure an admin enabled MCP under Settings → Organization → API & MCP Access, then toggle the server off and on in Cursor to re-run sign-in.
  • No tools listed — confirm the URL is exactly https://mcp.metal.ai/mcp (including the /mcp path).
