Cursor

The AI code editor from Anysphere. Its agent uses Laterbase as a remote MCP server, installed in one click and signed in with your account.

ToolsSigns in, no key

Connect

  1. Click Add to Cursor below and press Install in Cursor. To add it by hand instead, put the server in ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project, or in .cursor/mcp.json in one repo, merging it into mcpServers if the file already has other servers.

Add to Cursor

JSON
// ~/.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "laterbase": {
      "url": "https://laterbase.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Then, in Cursor's settings, open the MCP section and click Connect next to laterbase. Sign in to Laterbase in the browser tab that opens and allow Cursor.

Check it works

Cursor's MCP settings list laterbase with a green dot and its tools. Ask the agent which Laterbase workspace am I in? and it answers with your workspace. The sign-in is listed under Connected apps on Connections.

Add the rule

Copy the rule into Cursor's Rules settings as a User Rule, so the agent pins without being asked.

Laterbase: When work gets left for later, because you notice something out of scope worth doing or the user puts something off ("let's do that later"), pin it with `create_pin` straight away, without asking, and mention it in your next reply. Never leave it as a note in chat. When you start a task, call `pins_near` on the files it involves to see known issues there.

Disconnect

Delete the server in Cursor's MCP settings, or its entry in mcp.json. To revoke its access from this side, press Disconnect next to it under Connected apps on Connections.

With an API key

If you'd rather not sign in, add the server with an API key.

  1. Sign in, open Connections on the dashboard and create an API key. It's shown once, so copy it into the snippet straight away. One key per machine keeps things tidy.
  2. Add the server to ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project, or to .cursor/mcp.json in one repo. Merge it into mcpServers if the file already has other servers.
JSON
// ~/.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "laterbase": {
      "url": "https://laterbase.dev/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer lb_live_your_key" }
    }
  }
}

Save the file. Cursor picks it up on its own; if it doesn't, toggle the server off and on in settings.

In more than one workspace? Add one server per workspace, each with its own key and a name like laterbase-acme, so agents can work in both at once. See Workspaces and connections.

In Cursor's settings, the MCP section lists laterbase with a green dot and its tools.

Delete the laterbase entry from mcp.json. To cut it off for good, revoke the key on Connections. Agents using it stop working on their next call.
