Cursor can install the Tindre server from a deep link or ordinary MCP settings. Share only the server address; add the personal credential after installation so it does not remain in chat, browser, or shell history.
- 1
Open Cursor MCP settings
Use Settings → MCP or an approved deep link that contains only the server configuration.
- 2
Add an HTTP server
Name it Tindre and use the MCP address shown in Tindre settings.
- 3
Add authorization
Set Authorization to Bearer followed by your personal access token.
- 4
Verify tools
Confirm search and call appear, and query appears only when your permissions allow it.
Do not encode the token in the link
A deep link is still a URL. Credentials embedded in it can survive in messages and history. Let the link prefill the address, then add the header in the configuration Cursor opens.
Team distribution
A team can distribute the server entry through a project configuration or install link. Each developer supplies their own credential and reaches only their own Tindre access.
Troubleshoot permission-shaped differences
If one person sees fewer capabilities than another, compare their Tindre access before changing the MCP configuration. The catalog is filtered before names or schemas are disclosed.
See Credentials for token lifecycle and revocation.
