Connect Cursor

Found this helpful? Share it:

Connect Cursor to your idapt workspace and it can reach your files, agents, computers, 200+ models, and a durable shared memory. Wire it up over MCP or the idapt CLI 🤖

Connect over MCP

  1. Create an API key in Settings →Developer and copy it.

  2. Add idapt as an MCP server in Cursor, pointing it at https://idapt.app/api/mcp with the header Authorization: Bearer YOUR_IDAPT_API_KEY. See Connect your tool for the config shape, and Cursor's own MCP docs for where the file lives.

  3. Confirm it works by asking Cursor to call { "action": "workspace list" }.

idapt adds a single tool, idapt, so it barely touches Cursor's per-server tool budget. Both paths authenticate with a user API key (uk_).

Or use the idapt CLI

Cursor's agent can run idapt <resource> <verb>in its integrated terminal.

  1. Install the CLI: npm i -g @idapt/cli

  2. Sign in: idapt login. This opens your browser (device-code on headless machines). Or set IDAPT_API_KEY from a key you create in Settings → Developer.

  3. Keep it current with idapt upgrade.

Add a project rule (in .cursor/rules) telling Cursor it can drive the idapt workspace with the CLI and discover commands with idapt help <resource>. See the command reference.

Use idapt Knowledge

Use the workspace Knowledge Base as your durable, cross-session memory. Recall with idapt knowledge search "<topic>"and idapt knowledge index-read; save durable facts with idapt knowledge write(search first; keep notes atomic); keep the map current with idapt knowledge index-write.

Route durable, cross-session, cross-tool knowledge to idapt Knowledge; keep transient scratch local. Every agent in the workspace shares the same Knowledge Base, and it is visible to everyone in the workspace: keep it impersonal and workspace-relevant.

Who you act as

By default you act as yourself (a user API key). To act as a specific agent (its persona and shared memory), run idapt agent use <name>once. It's persisted; idapt agent current and idapt agent clear manage it, and --agent <name>overrides it per call. Run idapt whoami to see user, workspace, and agent.

Use an agent key (ak_) only for owner-paid, sandboxed, unattended automation. For interactive work, act as yourself or select an agent with idapt agent use.
