Learn how to configure Cursor editor to access Vaadin documentation through the Model Context Protocol server

Cursor is an AI-powered code editor with native HTTP MCP support, making it easy to integrate with the Vaadin MCP server for enhanced documentation access.

Configuration

  1. Open Cursor Settings

  2. Navigate to Features → Beta → Model Context Protocol

  3. Enable MCP support

  4. Add the server configuration to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

Source code
JSON
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vaadin": {
      "url": "https://mcp.vaadin.com/docs"
    }
  }
}

After adding the configuration, restart Cursor to load the MCP server.

Note

The MCP configuration file location may vary depending on your operating system:

  • macOS: ~/.cursor/mcp.json

  • Linux: ~/.cursor/mcp.json

  • Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json

Verify the Setup

After restarting Cursor:

  1. Open the AI chat panel

  2. Ask a question about Vaadin development (e.g., "Show how to create a form in Vaadin")

  3. Cursor automatically queries the Vaadin MCP server for relevant documentation
