# Cursor - Connect StackOne

> Use the StackOne MCP server to connect your work systems to Cursor.

For developers who add StackOne to their own Cursor. If your Cursor admin already shared it with your team, follow [Organization User Setup](https://docs.stackone.com/ai-platforms/cursor/organization-user-setup.md) instead.

Recommended Set up with your agentCursor walks you through it, one step at a time.

Help me connect StackOne to Cursor. I'm adding StackOne to Cursor myself. Read the setup guide at [https://docs.stackone.com/ai-platforms/setup-guide.md](https://docs.stackone.com/ai-platforms/setup-guide.md) and guide me one step at a time.

Or follow the steps yourself

## Connect

**1. Add StackOne**

1. Click this button. If your browser asks to open Cursor, allow it.

   [Add to Cursor](cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=StackOne\&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21jcC5zdGFja29uZS5jb20vbWNwIn0)

2. Cursor asks to install StackOne. Click **Install**.

> [accordion] The button doesn't open Cursor
>
> Add StackOne by hand:
>
> 1. Open `~/.cursor/mcp.json` in your home folder. Create the file if it isn't there. To add StackOne to one project only, use `.cursor/mcp.json` in that project instead.
>
> 2. Add StackOne under `mcpServers`, next to any servers already listed, and save:
>
>    ```json theme={null}
>    {
>      "mcpServers": {
>        "StackOne": {
>          "url": "https://mcp.stackone.com/mcp"
>        }
>      }
>    }
>    ```
>
> 3. Restart Cursor.

**2. Connect StackOne**

1. Open **Customize** in the sidebar, then **MCPs**.
2. Find **StackOne**. It shows **Needs authentication** until you sign in.
3. Check that its toggle is on, then click **Connect**.

**3. Sign in and authorize**

1. Sign in to StackOne. In a desktop app or code editor, this opens in your browser.
2. If StackOne asks for a project, pick yours and click **Continue to Accounts**.
3. Pick the work systems Cursor can use (your Linked Accounts).
4. If you see **Load tools when needed**, leave it on.
5. Click **Authorize**.

![StackOne's Select accounts screen with two Linked Accounts ticked, Load tools when needed on, and the Authorize button](https://mintcdn.com/stackone-60/RgaE_4ZxFuvAQ6gS/images/ai-platforms/oauth-consent-select-accounts.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=RgaE_4ZxFuvAQ6gS\&q=85\&s=66ef4eb4d8bf6e5246e5f01ec959c187)

**4. Check it works**

Click **New Agent** in the sidebar to start a chat. Cursor may ask before it uses a StackOne tool, so click **Run tool** when it does.

To check it works, send:

```text theme={null}
Which of my Linked Accounts can you reach through StackOne?
```

> [accordion] If something goes wrong
>
> **Can't find or add StackOne.** Your company can limit which MCP servers Cursor runs. If StackOne won't start, ask your Cursor admin to allow `https://mcp.stackone.com/mcp`.
>
> **Sign-in doesn't open or doesn't finish.** In **Customize → MCPs**, turn StackOne off and on, then click **Connect** again. To see the error, open the Output panel (Cmd+Shift+U on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+U on Windows) and pick **MCP Logs**.
>
> **A system you need is missing.** Ask your StackOne admin, or see [Linking Accounts](https://docs.stackone.com/connect/managing-connectors/linking-accounts.md).
>
> **It stopped working.** Go to **Customize → MCPs** and click **Connect** on StackOne to sign in again. Access lasts 90 days from when you clicked **Authorize**.
>
> **It can't do something.** It can do only what your own StackOne access allows. Ask your StackOne admin.
>
> **You need it without signing in.** Use a [token app](https://docs.stackone.com/ai-platforms/mcp-server.md#client-setup-token-apps) instead.

> [accordion] Add or change accounts
>
> Cursor reaches only the Linked Accounts you approved when you connected. To add one you link later, or one someone shares with you afterwards:
>
> **1. Open Connected Apps**
>
> In the StackOne dashboard, go to [**Connected Apps**](https://app.stackone.com/connected_apps).
>
> **2. Edit the connection**
>
> 1. Open the **⋮** menu on the row for Cursor and select **Edit tool access**.
> 2. Select the Linked Account.
> 3. Click **Save changes**.
>
> To review or revoke the connection, use the same **⋮** menu in **Connected Apps**.
