Cursor supports remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP with built-in OAuth authentication. You can add Brivvy by dropping a single entry into your MCP configuration file. Once connected, Cursor’s Agent can call Brivvy tools to retrieve brand voice rules and template instructions directly in your coding workflow. This is useful for generating on-brand README files, API documentation, code comments and user-facing text without leaving the editor.
Before you start
- Cursor installed (v1.0 or later).
- A Brivvy account on a plan that includes MCP access.
Steps
-
Open Cursor and click the gear icon in the top right to open Settings. In the left sidebar, click Tools & Integrations.
-
Under MCP Tools, click Add Custom MCP. Cursor opens the
mcp.json configuration file in the editor.
-
Paste the following configuration. If an
mcpServers block already exists, add "brivvy" as an additional entry rather than creating a second block.
{
"mcpServers": {
"brivvy": {
"url": "https://mcp.brivvy.io"
}
}
}
-
Save the file. Brivvy will appear in your MCP Tools list with a Needs login status.
-
Click Needs login next to Brivvy. Cursor opens a browser window where you can sign in to Brivvy and authorize the connection. After you approve, Cursor stores the OAuth credentials locally.
-
Back in Cursor, confirm the Brivvy server shows a green Connected status under MCP Tools. You can expand the entry to see the available tools:
list_voices, get_voice, list_templates and get_template.
You can also place the configuration at .cursor/mcp.json inside a specific project directory to scope the connection to that project only. The global configuration at ~/.cursor/mcp.json applies across all projects.
How to know it worked
Open a new Agent conversation in Cursor and send a prompt that requires brand voice context, for example: “Using Brivvy, get the brand voice rules and write a two-sentence product update.” The Agent will call the appropriate Brivvy tool and return a response shaped by your brand voice rules rather than a generic output.
