Cursor

You add Octolens to your Cursor config and sign in with your Octolens account. There’s no API key to paste.

You can also start this from the app: Settings → MCP → Setup Octolens MCP walks you through the same steps.

Open MCP settings

Open the Command Palette (⌘ + Shift + P on Mac, Ctrl + Shift + P on Windows), search for “MCP” and select Add new global MCP server.Or edit the config file directly:

macOS/Linux: ~/.cursor/mcp.json
Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json

Add Octolens

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "octolens": {
      "url": "https://app.octolens.com/api/mcp/v2"
    }
  }
}

Save the file, open Cursor Settings → MCP, click refresh, then click Authenticate on the Octolens entry. Sign in to Octolens in the browser tab that opens. Use the Octolens tools in Agent mode.
