Cursor Plugin Guide

Cursor Plugin Guide

Cursor 2.5+ supports a packaged plugin, a .cursor-plugin/plugin.json manifest with the Visily skill and the MCP server config bundled together.

Before you start

  1. The Visily MCP works only on workspaces on a Pro or Business plan, where you are the workspace creator or have an editor license. Free workspaces and viewer/guest roles are not supported.
  2. Server URL: https://app.visily.ai/api/mcp

Install the Visily plugin in Cursor

You can install the Visily plugin from the Cursor UI or from the CLI. 

Install from Cursor

  1. Open Cursor Settings.
  2. Go to Plugins.
  3. In the Search or Paste link field, paste the Visily plugin repository: git@github.com:visily-app/mcp-plugins.git
  4. Follow the prompts to install the plugin.
  5. Reload Cursor if prompted.

Install from CLI

If you have cloned the plugin repository locally, open Cursor’s agent chat and run:
Quote
/add-plugin ./plugins/cursor
Or symlink for development:
Quote
ln -s "$(pwd)/plugins/cursor" ~/.cursor/plugins/local/visily
Then reload Cursor.

What you get after installation

After the plugin is installed:
  1. The visily MCP server appears under Settings → MCP (authorize via OAuth on first use).
  2. The Visily skill loads automatically when a Visily task is detected.
