Configuration

Configuration type: JSON

File location: ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or via Cursor Settings → MCP)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trinity-insights": {
      "url": "https://mcp.trinityinsights.io/mcp",
      "transport": "streamable-http",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TRINITY_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_TRINITY_API_KEY with the API key you will generate in the next step.

Setup steps

  1. Install Cursor
    Download Cursor from cursor.com (Mac, Windows, Linux).
  2. Retrieve your Trinity API key
    Dashboard → Settings → API Keys MCP. Create a key dedicated to Cursor.
  3. Add the MCP server in Cursor
    Settings → Features → MCP → Add new MCP server. Provide the name (trinity-insights), URL (https://mcp.trinityinsights.io/mcp), transport (streamable-http), and Authorization header.
  4. Enable in the composer
    In the Cursor composer (Cmd+L), enable Trinity Insights via the Tools menu. The tools are then available in the chat context.
  5. Test
    Ask: "Compare the current TCI cycle with previous cycles via Trinity." Cursor will call compare_cycles.

Notes

  • Cursor caches MCP tool definitions. If you modify the configuration, restart Cursor to refresh.
  • Cursor's token consumption is not affected by MCP calls — only Anthropic / OpenAI calls flow through the Cursor account.
