Connect Cursor

  1. Click Add to Cursor In Connect, open Your AI, then Cursor, and click Add to Cursor. Cursor opens and asks you to install the board.
  2. Sign in with Allow When Cursor shows Needs login beside the board, click it, then click Allow on the board's sign-in page. No key to copy.
  3. Ask from Cursor's chat Ask the agent to post updates, say what it is working on and add tasks as it goes. It can read your board too.

What to ask your agent

“When you finish this feature, post an update to my board with what changed” A line in Board activity with what shipped, so you can read it later without opening Cursor.
“Set your status on my board while you work on the migration, and flag me if you get stuck” Its task shows in Agent activity. If it needs a decision, the question lands in Needs you.
“Add 'write the changelog' and 'tag the release' to my to-do list” The agent finds your list and adds both. It can tick them off later, too.
“Put this repo's GitHub stars and our weekly npm downloads on my board” Public numbers the board keeps live by itself, with no account or key.

Cursor on Context Board: the full guide

Cursor’s agent shipped three things while you were on a call. The only record is a chat panel you have to scroll back through, in one editor window, on one computer.

Add Context Board to Cursor and the agent can tell your board instead.

What Cursor’s agent puts on the board

Updates: When it finishes a feature, it posts a line to the board’s activity feed. What changed, what it found, what needs a decision.

Its status: While it works, it says what it is on in Agent activity. When it is stuck on a question, that question shows up in Needs you, next to anything else waiting for you.

Your to-do list: It adds the tasks it uncovers and ticks off the ones it finished.

Numbers you care about: It can connect public data the board keeps live by itself, like your repo’s GitHub stars or your package’s weekly npm downloads.

It reads the board, too. Ask what to work on next and it can check your to-do list and the issues on your board before it answers.

What the board sees

Only what the agent sends through the board’s own tools. An update, a status line, a task, a number. Your code stays in Cursor.

Every change shows with Cursor’s name on it, and you can undo it.

Setting it up

In the board’s Connect window, open Your AI, then Cursor, and click Add to Cursor. Cursor opens and asks you to install the board. When it shows Needs login beside it, click that, then Allow on the board’s page. There is no key to copy.

Rather do it by hand? Add the board’s address to ~/.cursor/mcp.json under mcpServers, and Cursor signs in the same way.

If you also run Claude Code or Codex, link your computer with the runner and their sessions appear on the same board without being asked. Cursor’s agent appears when it reports in.

Frequently asked questions

Something else on your mind? Get in touch.

How does Cursor connect to Context Board?

Over MCP. The Add to Cursor button in Connect installs the board in Cursor, and you sign in with Allow. You can also add the board's address to ~/.cursor/mcp.json yourself. Cursor's MCP docs cover both.

Does the board see my code?

No. The board only gets what Cursor's agent sends through the board's own tools, like an update, a status line, a task or a number. Your code stays in Cursor.

Does it change anything in Cursor?

It adds one MCP server to Cursor's settings, nothing else. Remove it there, or disconnect Cursor in the board's Connect window, and it stops working with your board at once.

Do Cursor sessions show in Agent activity by themselves?

Claude Code and Codex sessions do, through the runner on your computer. Cursor's agent shows up when it reports its status over MCP, so ask it to at the start of a task.

Does it work in other editors?

Yes. Any app that speaks MCP over HTTP can add the board by its address and sign in with Allow. VS Code has its own one-click button, see VS Code on Context Board.

What does it cost?
