Cursor: Set up the Visily MCP server

Cursor: Set up the Visily MCP server

Connect Cursor directly to the Visily MCP server by editing your MCP config (no plugin).

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

Add the server

Create or edit .cursor/mcp.json in your project (or the global ~/.cursor/mcp.json):
Quote
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "visily": {
      "url": "https://app.visily.ai/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Authenticate (OAuth)

  1. Reload Cursor. The visily server appears under Settings → MCP.
  2. Click to authorize - complete the OAuth sign-in when prompted.
Once connected, the Visily tools are available to the agent.

Prefer the packaged plugin?

Cursor 2.5+ supports plugins. The Visily plugin bundles the server plus the Visily skill, which loads automatically on Visily tasks. See Cursor Plugin Guide.
