Cursor documents Streamable HTTP, OAuth, and project or global `mcp.json` files. Add Sift to `.cursor/mcp.json` for a project or `~/.cursor/mcp.json` globally:

```json
{ "mcpServers": { "sift": { "url": "YOUR_SIFT_MCP_URL" } } }
```

Open **Settings → Tools & Integrations → MCP**, enable or reload Sift, and authenticate when prompted. Verify `contract.get`, then a grounded read. [Official configuration evidence](https://docs.cursor.com/context/model-context-protocol).

Cursor IDE and Cursor Agent can have different OAuth/tool visibility. If the client cannot authenticate, use [local MCP](/connect/local-mcp/).
