Cursor Setup

Compatibility note: Cursor supports MCP and should work with Tempreon based on the protocol standard. We haven't completed full end-to-end testing yet, but the setup follows the same pattern as our fully tested platforms. Let us know if you encounter any issues.

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)

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 Cursor Settings

1. Open Cursor
2. Go to Settings > MCP (or search for "MCP" in the command palette)
3. Find the MCP server configuration section

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": "YOUR_SERVER_URL_FROM_BRIDGES_DASHBOARD"
    }
  }
}

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
MCP option not visible in settings	Ensure you're on a Cursor version that supports MCP
Connection drops during long sessions	Cursor may need to reconnect; restart the chat session
"Unauthorized" error	Re-authorize through the Bridges dashboard
