Connect Cursor

Connect Cursor to the Zenode MCP server so its agent can search and research components while you work.

Before you start

You need a Zenode API key — create one and see how to authenticate on the Authentication page.

Add the server

Create or edit your Cursor MCP config — ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project, or .cursor/mcp.json in a single project — and add a zenode entry:

1{
2  "mcpServers": {
3    "zenode": {
4      "url": "https://api.zenode.ai/mcp/",
5      "headers": {
6        "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR API KEY HERE>"
7      }
8    }
9  }
10}

Enable it

Open Cursor Settings → MCP (under Tools & Integrations). You should see zenode listed — toggle it on. A green dot means it connected.

Try it

In Cursor's agent (Chat or Composer), ask:

Use Zenode to find alternates and pricing for a 100nF 0603 X7R capacitor.

Cursor's agent discovers the Zenode tools automatically and uses them as needed.
