Install in Cursor

This guide walks you through installing Mistflow in Cursor.

Automatic install (recommended)

1. Run the installer

   npx @mistflow/installer

   The installer detects Cursor and adds the MCP config automatically.

2. Log in

   Your browser opens to app.mistflow.dev. Sign in and the installer stores your API key locally.

3. Verify

   Open Cursor, start a new chat, and ask:

   What Mistflow tools are available?

   If Cursor lists the tools, you’re ready.

Manual install

1. Get your API key from Settings.

2. Open Cursor Settings → MCP Servers → Add Server

   • Name: mistflow
   • Command: npx
   • Args: -y @mistflow/mcp
   • Env: MISTFLOW_API_KEY=mist_your_key_here

3. Restart Cursor to load the new MCP server.

Tip

Cursor also supports an mcp.json file in your project root. This is useful for sharing Mistflow config with your team — just don’t include the API key directly. Use an environment variable reference instead.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Solution
Tools not appearing in chat	Make sure MCP is enabled in Cursor settings. Restart Cursor.
”Authentication failed”	Re-run the installer to refresh your API key.
Cursor freezes on tool call	Update Cursor to the latest version. Some older versions have MCP bugs.
