Where is the MCP setting in Cursor? I can't find it.

Open Customize from the Cursor sidebar — that is where MCP servers are managed as of Cursor 3.9, released in June 2026. On older builds the same controls sat under Cursor Settings, so if there is no Customize entry, update Cursor or search the command palette for "MCP". The fastest path is the one-click "Add to Cursor" link on this setup page, which adds the Tempreon server for you.

The Tempreon connection dropped partway through a long Cursor session. How do I fix it?

Restart the chat session to re-establish the connection. Cursor isolates server failures, so a single server reconnecting does not affect the others. If you see an "Unauthorized" error, re-authorize Tempreon from your Bridges dashboard and the OAuth flow will issue fresh tokens.

Do I need a proxy or a special transport for Cursor?

No. Cursor connects to Tempreon over native Streamable HTTP, with no proxy or shim. Add the server with the URL https://api.tempreon.com/functions/v1/tempreon-mcp/mcp and Cursor triggers the browser authorization the first time it connects.

Cursor Setup — Docs

Verified August 2026: Cursor connects to Tempreon over native Streamable HTTP — no proxy needed, and OAuth is zero-config because Cursor supports dynamic client registration. MCP servers are managed from Customize in the sidebar as of Cursor 3.9 (June 2026); older builds keep them under Cursor Settings.

Overview

Cursor is an AI-powered code editor with built-in MCP support. Connecting Tempreon to Cursor means your AI coding assistant retains your preferences, architecture decisions, and project knowledge across sessions.

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (download here)
A Tempreon account with at least one available Bridge slot
Your Tempreon connection details (found in your Bridges dashboard)

One-Click Install

With Cursor installed, this link adds the Tempreon server for you — then skip straight to the Authorize step below:

Add to Cursor

Prefer configuring by hand? Follow the steps below.

Step-by-Step Setup

1. Get Your Connection Details

Log into Tempreon and navigate to the Bridges section of your dashboard to find your MCP server URL.

2. Open Customize

Open Cursor
Open Customize from the sidebar — this is where Cursor manages MCP servers, plugins, skills, and rules
Find the MCP section

Cursor consolidated these settings into the Customize page in version 3.9 (June 2026). On older builds the same controls lived under Cursor Settings, so if you don't see Customize in the sidebar, update Cursor or search the command palette for "MCP".

3. Add Tempreon

Add a new MCP server with your connection details from the Bridges dashboard. The configuration typically follows this pattern:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tempreon": {
      "url": "https://api.tempreon.com/functions/v1/tempreon-mcp/mcp"
    }
  }
}

4. Authorize

When Cursor first connects, it will trigger the Tempreon authorization flow in your browser. Approve the connection to complete setup.

5. Verify

In a Cursor chat session, try:

"What Tempreon context do you have access to?"
"Search my knowledge for any architecture decisions"

Working with Cursor + Tempreon

The combination is especially useful for:

Maintaining coding conventions — Your Instincts capture how you write code, and Cursor's AI follows those patterns
Cross-project knowledge — Technical decisions stored in one project are accessible in another
Documentation context — Your AI knows your documentation style and can reference previous specs
Team context — Your Network intelligence means your AI knows who works on what

Try Saying...

"Remember: this project uses the repository pattern for data access" — Persists for future sessions
"What testing approach do I usually prefer?" — Draws from your Instincts
"Create a task to write integration tests for the checkout flow" — Builds your task queue from within the IDE

Common Issues

Problem	Solution
Can't find where to add an MCP server	Cursor moved this to Customize in the sidebar in version 3.9 (June 2026). On older builds, look under Cursor Settings instead.
Connection drops during a long session	Restart the chat session to reconnect. Cursor isolates server failures, so other servers keep working while one reconnects.
"Unauthorized" error	Re-authorize through the Bridges dashboard
