Use with Cursor

Connect the Search Stack MCP server and Cursor can query and manage your index directly — search records, import a file, add a facet — alongside the code it writes.

1. Install

Add to Cursor

Or by hand in ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "searchstack": {
      "url": "https://mcp.searchstack.dev/"
    }
  }
}

2. Sign in

The first call opens a browser to authorise Cursor against your Search Stack account, and the connection carries your permissions from then on. To use a key instead:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "searchstack": {
      "url": "https://mcp.searchstack.dev/",
      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Grab one from the console. A read-only key lets Cursor query; a read/write key lets it import and manage records.

3. Ask

“Search my movies list for heist films from the 90s.”
“Import this CSV into movies and show me what failed.”
“Add a genre facet to my movies list.”
