Use Recall with Cursor

Prerequisites

• Cursor desktop app

1. 1) Open the MCP settings

   In Cursor, click the settings gear in the top right, then choose Tools & MCP.

   

2. 2) Add the Recall server

   Click New MCP Server and paste this into mcp.json:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "Recall Notes": {
         "url": "https://mcp.recallnotes.io/mcp"
       }
     }
   }

   Save the file when you’re done.

3. 3) Authenticate Recall

   Back in settings, find Recall Notes and click Connect. Log into Recall in the browser, then return to Cursor. The “Needs authentication” badge disappears once it’s connected.

   

What to expect after setup

• Recall Notes shows under MCP servers in Cursor.
• You can pull Recall notes directly into the editor using Cursor’s tool responses.

Testing

In a new conversation, try:

1. “Save this spec to Recall.”
2. “Search Recall for design tokens.”
3. “Fetch my Recall note about onboarding.”

You should see Cursor call Recall and return the note or confirmation.
