Cursor config for Quackback MCP Server

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quackback-mcp-server": {
      "url": "https://{host}/api/mcp",
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${QUACKBACK_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Remote server — no local install needed. Restart the client after saving the config.

Setup steps

1Open Cursor → Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server (or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json directly).
2Paste the Quackback MCP Server config below into the "mcpServers" object.
3Fill in placeholder secrets, then save.
4Cursor reloads MCP servers automatically — check Settings → MCP for a green status dot.
5Ask Cursor to use one of Quackback MCP Server's tools to confirm it's connected.

Before you start

A running Quackback instance (cloud at app.quackback.io, or self-hosted via Docker / Railway)
A Quackback API key (qb_...) generated under Admin > Settings > Developers, or OAuth browser login
For Claude Desktop: Node.js (uses the mcp-remote bridge)

Security

The MCP server is hosted by your own Quackback instance; the endpoint is https://{your-host}/api/mcp. Authenticate with an API key (Bearer qb_...) generated under Admin > Settings > Developers, or via OAuth (browser login; supported by Claude Code and Claude Desktop). Store the API key in an environment variable (e.g. QUACKBACK_API_KEY) rather than hardcoding it.

Quackback MCP Server + Cursor FAQ

Where is the Cursor config file?

Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Paste the Quackback MCP Server config there under the "mcpServers" key and restart the client.

Is Quackback MCP Server safe to use with Cursor?

What is the MCP server endpoint?

It is served by your own Quackback instance at https://{your-host}/api/mcp using the streamable HTTP transport. For Quackback Cloud, the host is your workspace domain.

How do I authenticate?

Use an API key (Bearer qb_...) created under Admin > Settings > Developers, or OAuth (browser login). Claude Code and Claude Desktop support both; Cursor, VS Code, and Windsurf use the API key.

Which clients are supported?

The in-app setup guide provides copy-paste configs for Claude Code (.mcp.json), Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json), VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json), Windsurf (~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json), and Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json via the mcp-remote bridge).
