# Cursor
|
|
|
|
> Give Cursor a brain that remembers between sessions.
|
|
|
|
Cursor has native MCP support. Add Vestige and your AI assistant remembers your architecture, preferences, and past fixes across every session.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
### 1. Create or edit the config file
|
|
|
|
**Global (all projects):**
|
|
|
|
| Platform | Path |
|
|
|----------|------|
|
|
| macOS / Linux | `~/.cursor/mcp.json` |
|
|
| Windows | `%USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json` |
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# macOS / Linux
|
|
mkdir -p ~/.cursor
|
|
open -e ~/.cursor/mcp.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. Add Vestige
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"mcpServers": {
|
|
"vestige": {
|
|
"command": "/usr/local/bin/vestige-mcp",
|
|
"args": [],
|
|
"env": {}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> **Use absolute paths.** Cursor does not reliably resolve relative paths or `~`. Run `which vestige-mcp` to find your binary location.
|
|
|
|
**Windows:**
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"mcpServers": {
|
|
"vestige": {
|
|
"command": "C:\\Users\\you\\.cargo\\bin\\vestige-mcp.exe",
|
|
"args": [],
|
|
"env": {}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. Restart Cursor
|
|
|
|
Fully quit and reopen Cursor. The MCP server loads on startup.
|
|
|
|
### 4. Verify
|
|
|
|
Open Cursor's AI chat and ask:
|
|
|
|
> "What MCP tools do you have access to?"
|
|
|
|
You should see Vestige's tools listed (search, smart_ingest, memory, etc.).
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## First Use
|
|
|
|
Ask Cursor's AI:
|
|
|
|
> "Remember that this project uses React with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS"
|
|
|
|
Start a **new chat session**, then:
|
|
|
|
> "What tech stack does this project use?"
|
|
|
|
It remembers.
|
|

|
## Project-Specific Memory
|
|
|
|
To isolate memory per project, use `--data-dir`:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"mcpServers": {
|
|
"vestige": {
|
|
"command": "/usr/local/bin/vestige-mcp",
|
|
"args": ["--data-dir", "/Users/you/projects/my-app/.vestige"],
|
|
"env": {}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or place a `.cursor/mcp.json` in the project root for project-level config.
|
|

## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
<details>
|
|
<summary>Vestige tools not appearing</summary>
|
|
|
|
1. Verify the binary exists:
|
|
```bash
|
|
which vestige-mcp
|
|
```
|
|
2. Test the binary manually:
|
|
```bash
|
|
echo '{}' | vestige-mcp
|
|
```
|
|
3. Check the config is valid JSON:
|
|
```bash
|
|
cat ~/.cursor/mcp.json | python3 -m json.tool
|
|
```
|
|
4. Fully restart Cursor (Cmd+Q / Alt+F4, not just close window).
|
|
</details>
|
|
|
|
<details>
|
|
<summary>Silent failures</summary>
|
|
|
|
Cursor does not surface MCP server errors in the UI. Test by running the command directly in your terminal to see actual error output.
