Zentrik MCP

Connect Zentrik MCP in Cursor

Follow these screens to connect Zentrik MCP in Cursor.

In Cursor, Add Custom MCP opens mcp.json. That is expected. Use https://zentrik.ai/mcp, then authenticate in the browser.

Steps

Cursor stores remote MCP servers in mcp.json.

1. Open MCP settings

Open Settings → Tools & MCPs and choose Add Custom MCP.

2. Add Zentrik to mcp.json

In mcp.json, add:

json7 lines
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zentrik": {
      "url": "https://zentrik.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Save the file and return to the MCP settings list.

If Cursor starts you with {"mcpServers": {}}, add the zentrik entry inside that object.

3. Authenticate

In the MCP settings list, find zentrik and use Authenticate or Connect.

4. Approve in Zentrik

In Zentrik, choose the workspace for this connection and approve access.

You can store this in project-level .cursor/mcp.json or global ~/.cursor/mcp.json.

You are connected

Once Cursor is connected, it can call the Zentrik tools available in that workspace.

  • ask for the evidence behind an idea before coding or planning
  • bring the relevant opportunity or context record into your working session

Troubleshooting

These items are about workflow and expectations in the product, not a broken OAuth client. If something contradicts what you see in your workspace, note your workspace name and the screen, then contact us.

Add Custom MCP opened JSON

That is the expected flow in Cursor. Add the zentrik server entry inside mcpServers, save the file, then go back to the MCP settings list.

The server appears but is not authenticated

Use the row action to authenticate, then complete the browser OAuth flow. If the row never appears, reopen the settings view and confirm the url is exactly https://zentrik.ai/mcp.

I chose the wrong workspace

Run the auth flow again and choose the correct workspace. Each MCP connection is bound to one workspace at a time.
