Cursor

Cursor supports MCP servers via its settings. OpaqueVault works identically to the Claude Code integration.


In Cursor settings → MCP → Add server:

{
"opaquevault": {
"command": "ov",
"args": ["mcp", "serve"]
}
}

Or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json directly:

{
"mcpServers": {
"opaquevault": {
"command": "ov",
"args": ["mcp", "serve"]
}
}
}

Restart Cursor. OpaqueVault’s 7 tools will be available to the AI.


Identical to Claude Code. Ask Cursor’s AI to run commands that need credentials — it will call vault_run automatically.

The interceptor runs regardless of which MCP client you use — it’s in ov mcp serve, not in the client.

Native Windows MCP support is in development (OV-59). Until it lands, use WSL2 for Cursor MCP integration: install OpaqueVault inside WSL2 with curl -fsSL https://get.opaquevault.com | sh, and point Cursor’s MCP config at the WSL2-hosted ov binary.

The Windows-native CLI works today — see the installation guide.
