Agent Instruction

Add to CursorOpen install link

Option 1

RecommendedCursor MCP install dialog with VEE3_API_KEY set to ${env:VEE3_API_KEY}

Run one of these, then restart your terminal and install.

macOS / Linux

Paste into Terminal (adds to ~/.zshrc)

echo 'export VEE3_API_KEY="your-api-key"' >> ~/.zshrc

Windows

Paste into PowerShell or Command Prompt

setx VEE3_API_KEY "your-api-key"

Option 2

Cursor MCP install dialog with a pasted Vee3 API key in the header

Paste your key from API Keys into VEE3_API_KEY, then install.

Restart Cursor if tools do not appear right away.

Manual setup

Use this if you are on a different machine than the dashboard, or you prefer editing config yourself.

  1. Open Cursor Settings → Tools & MCP.
  2. Select New MCP Server / Add a Custom MCP Server. Cursor opens mcp.json (usually ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
  3. Add a vee3 entry under mcpServers. Merge into the existing object if you already have other servers.
  4. Save the file and restart Cursor if tools do not appear.

Do not commit literal API keys—use ${env:VEE3_API_KEY} when sharing config.

mcp.json

Paste into ~/.cursor/mcp.json, or merge the vee3 block into an existing file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vee3": {
      "url": "https://mcp.vee3.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "VEE3_API_KEY": "${env:VEE3_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Verify the connection

Ask the agent to call meta-tools.list_groups or search the catalog with meta-tools.search. If tools return data, the connection is working.

Customize which tools appear

From the dashboard, open Customize MCP to turn capability groups on or off. Changes apply to your MCP server on the next connection.
