# Cursor IDE

# Cursor IDE Integration

Configure Cursor IDE to connect with your StarTree MCP Server for natural language analytics directly within your development environment.

## Prerequisites

* Cursor IDE installed ([download here](https://cursor.sh/))
* **StarTree MCP Server already installed** ([see installation guide](https://docs.startree.ai/corecapabilities/ai/mcp/installation))

## Configuration Steps

Since you already have a working `.env` file in your mcp-pinot directory, Cursor will automatically use those settings. No need to duplicate configuration!

Create or edit `~/.cursor/mcp.json`

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pinot": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/mcp-pinot",
        "run",
        "mcp_pinot/server.py"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

Replace `/path/to/mcp-pinot` with the absolute path to your mcp-pinot directory

Add this config in Cursor MCP global settings
