​
One-click install

Install the Ordinal MCP server. Sign in with your Ordinal account when prompted.
Install in Cursor

​
Manual install

1

Open MCP settings

Open the Cursor command palette (Cmd+Shift+P on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows) and search for Open MCP settings.
2

Add the Ordinal server

In the MCP settings panel, click Add new global MCP server and paste:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ordinal": {
      "url": "https://app.tryordinal.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
Save the file.
3

Sign in with Ordinal

Cursor detects the new server and opens a browser window. Sign in with your Ordinal account and approve access.
4

Verify the connection

Back in MCP settings, the ordinal server should show a green dot and list the available tools.
5

Try it out

Open the Cursor agent panel and ask: “List my Ordinal workspaces.” It should call the ordinal_get_workspace_context tool.

​
Troubleshooting

Make sure you’re on a recent Cursor version with OAuth MCP support. Restart Cursor after editing the MCP config.
Click the server entry in MCP settings to see the error. Most common causes:
  • Your sign-in token expired — click Re-authorize to refresh it.
  • The URL is wrong — it should be exactly https://app.tryordinal.com/mcp with no trailing slash or /api/ prefix.
You likely have the old server still configured. Remove any ordinal entry pointing at /api/mcp and restart Cursor. See the migration guide.
