Cursor

Learn how to configure Cursor editor to access Vaadin documentation through the Model Context Protocol server

Cursor is an AI-powered code editor with native HTTP MCP support, making it easy to integrate with the Vaadin MCP server for enhanced documentation access.

Configuration

Cursor reads MCP servers from an mcp.json file. Choose where to save it:

  • This project: .cursor/mcp.json in the project root. Everyone who opens the project in Cursor gets the server, so commit the file to share it.

  • All your projects: ~/.cursor/mcp.json in your home directory (%USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json on Windows).

Add the following configuration to the file:

Source code
JSON
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vaadin": {
      "url": "https://mcp.vaadin.com/docs"
    }
  }
}

Create the file if it doesn’t exist. If it already has an mcpServers entry, add vaadin to it. Restart Cursor afterwards.

Verify the Setup

After restarting Cursor:

  1. Open the AI chat panel

  2. Ask a question about Vaadin development (e.g., "Show how to create a form in Vaadin")

  3. Cursor automatically queries the Vaadin MCP server for relevant documentation
