Connect Cursor

Add sheets-mcp to Cursor IDE using the MCP settings panel or mcp.json.

Prerequisites

Steps

  1. Open Cursor MCP settings.

    Go to Cursor → Settings → Features → MCP Servers. Or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search MCP: Add Server.

  2. Add a new MCP server.

    Click Add new MCP server and enter:

    • Name: sheets-mcp
    • URL: https://sheets-mcp-xi.vercel.app/api/mcp
    • Transport: Auto (Cursor negotiates SSE or HTTP automatically)

    Or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json directly:

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "sheets-mcp": {
          "url": "https://sheets-mcp-xi.vercel.app/api/mcp"
        }
      }
    }
  3. Reload Cursor.

    Cmd+Shift+PDeveloper: Reload Window to apply the config.

  4. Authorize via Google OAuth.

    The first time Cursor calls a sheets-mcp tool, it opens the OIDC authorize URL in your browser. Sign in and grant Sheets + Drive scopes.
