Cursor

Method 1 - agent skills (recommended)

Run the installer from your project directory:

npx cognetivy

Choose Cursor in the installer. Cognetivy will:

• Create a .cognetivy/ workspace in your project
• Install the skill into .cursor/skills/cognetivy/
• Open Studio in your browser

Or install the skill manually if Cognetivy is already installed globally:

cognetivy install cursor

Method 2 - MCP server

Connect via MCP so Cognetivy tools appear directly in Cursor’s chat panel.

Via Cursor settings UI

1. 1Open Settings → Tools & MCP (or Features → MCP)
2. 2Click Add new MCP server
3. 3Set Name to cognetivy
4. 4Set Command to cognetivy
5. 5Set Arguments to mcp
6. 6Save and restart Cursor

Via config file

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json or your project’s .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cognetivy": {
      "command": "cognetivy",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

If your .cognetivy/ folder is not in your current project root, add the workspace path:

"args": ["mcp", "--workspace", "/path/to/.cognetivy"]
