Cursor

Tested with the Cursor CLI (cursor-agent): local and hosted server, key passed from the environment, all tools listed. The editor reads the same mcp.json files.

RequirementsCopy Anchor Link

• Cursor (editor or cursor-agent CLI), Node.js 18 or newer for the local server.
• HELIPOD_API_KEY in your environment, see Get a key.

Add the serverCopy Anchor Link

Put the server in ~/.cursor/mcp.json to use it in every project, or in .cursor/mcp.json inside a repository for that project only.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "helipod": { "url": "https://api.helipod.io/mcp" }
  }
}

Check it worksCopy Anchor Link

• Editor: open Cursor Settings → MCP (Tools & Integrations in newer versions). helipod should show a green dot and its tools.
• CLI: cursor-agent mcp list shows helipod: ready, and cursor-agent mcp list-tools helipod lists 219 tools.
• In the agent chat, ask: "List my Helipod projects."

NotesCopy Anchor Link

• If Cursor reports too many tools across your MCP servers, turn off the Helipod tools you do not need in the MCP settings (for example the VPS or email tools).
• Keep tool approval on in the agent for write and destructive tools; do not turn on auto-run for a key that can spend money.
• To run Cursor on Helipod AI models, see Coding tools → Cursor.
