Use Arcade in Cursor

Prerequisites

1. Create an Arcade account
2. Get an Arcade API key
3. Create an Arcade MCP Gateway and select the tools you want to use

Set up Cursor

1. Open the command palette and select Open MCP Settings
2. Click on the New MCP Server button

Cursor will open the MCP settings file, and you can add a new entry to the mcpServers object:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-arcade": {
      "url": "https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/<YOUR-GATEWAY-SLUG>",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {arcade_api_key}",
        "Arcade-User-ID": "{arcade_user_id}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Try it out

1. Open the chat pane (typically command-l)
2. Make sure you are in Agent mode
3. Ask the agent to use a tool!
