# Cursor

> Connect Membase to Cursor with one-click MCP setup. You can also use the Membase Cursor plugin for packaged rules and skills.

Cursor supports **one-click MCP setup** from the Membase dashboard. This is the default setup path and gives Cursor access to Membase memory and wiki tools through the hosted Membase MCP server.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click &#x22;Add to Cursor&#x22; to install automatically">
    From the [Membase dashboard](https://app.membase.so), select Cursor and click the **"Add to Cursor"** badge.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Install in the &#x22;Install MCP Server?&#x22; dialog">
    Cursor will show a confirmation dialog. Click **Install** to proceed.

## Cursor Plugin

Membase also has a [Cursor plugin](https://github.com/aristoapp/cursor-membase). The plugin uses the same hosted Membase MCP server and Cursor OAuth flow, but packages additional Cursor guidance with the connection:

* **MCP tools**: `search_memory`, `add_memory`, `get_current_date`, `search_wiki`, `add_wiki`, `update_wiki`, and `delete_wiki`
* **Resources**: `membase://profile` for stable user settings and `membase://recent` for recent memory context
* **Always-on rule**: Guides Cursor to search and save Membase context when it is relevant
* **Skills**: Helps Cursor choose between memory and wiki workflows for searching, saving, and managing knowledge

Install it from the [Cursor Marketplace](https://cursor.com/marketplace) when available in your workspace, then click **Connect** next to the Membase MCP server in Cursor settings. No npm package, CLI login, or API key is required.

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="I do not see Membase in the Cursor Marketplace">
    Use the one-click MCP setup from the Membase dashboard. It connects Cursor to the same hosted Membase MCP server and supports memory and wiki tools.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Cursor asks me to connect the MCP server again">
    Click **Connect** next to the Membase MCP server in Cursor settings and complete browser OAuth. Cursor owns the OAuth connection for this setup.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I already installed Membase through one-click MCP setup">
    You can keep that setup. If you later install the Cursor plugin, remove duplicate Membase MCP entries if Cursor shows the same tools twice.
