Overview

Cursor reads MCP servers from an mcp.json file. You add Reap with a short entry, sign in through OAuth, and pick the workspace Cursor is allowed to use.

​
Before You Start

  • Your Reap workspace must be on a paid plan with API access enabled.
  • Install Cursor and sign in to it.
  • You need access to the Reap workspace you want to connect.

​
Reap MCP Server URL

​
Add Reap To Cursor

1

Choose project or global

For a single project, create .cursor/mcp.json in the project root. To make Reap available everywhere, create ~/.cursor/mcp.json instead.
2

Add the Reap server

Remote servers use url. There is no command to run and nothing to install locally.
3

Reload Cursor

Save the file. If Reap does not appear right away, reload the window or restart Cursor.
4

Sign in to Reap

Open Cursor Settings > Customize, where your MCP servers are listed. Find reap and click to connect or log in. Cursor also starts the sign-in flow automatically the first time it uses a Reap tool.
5

Choose a workspace and authorize

Sign in to Reap, select the workspace Cursor is allowed to use, and click Authorize. Close the tab when you see Authentication successful, then return to Cursor.
For a faster route, paste this into Cursor’s chat: “Add reap to my global MCP servers using https://mcp.reap.video/mcp and connect.” Cursor writes the config and starts the sign-in for you.

​
Confirm The Connection Works

In Cursor Settings > Customize, reap should show as connected with its tools listed. You can also ask in chat:

​
Use Reap From Cursor

​
Troubleshooting

  • Reap not listed? Check that the JSON is valid and uses the mcpServers key, then reload the Cursor window.
  • Listed but no tools? Click reap under Customize and complete the OAuth sign-in.
  • Works in one project only? A .cursor/mcp.json in a project root applies to that project. Move the entry to ~/.cursor/mcp.json to use Reap everywhere.
  • Wrong workspace? Disconnect Reap in settings, reconnect, and pick the correct workspace on the Reap authorization screen.
