Install in one click

Click Add to Cursor to open Cursor and install the Ferndesk MCP server.

  1. Under Install in one click, click Add to Cursor.

  2. Cursor opens and installs the Ferndesk MCP server.

You can also add the server manually with the JSON file steps below.

Add Cursor manually

Add the Ferndesk server to Cursor by editing ~/.cursor/mcp.json. A project-level .cursor/mcp.json works too.

  1. On the Cursor setup panel, find Or add it manually to ~/.cursor/mcp.json.

  2. Copy the JSON from the panel. It looks like this, with your connector URL already filled in:

    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "ferndesk": {
      "url": "<connectorUrl>"
    }
  }
}

  3. Paste that JSON into ~/.cursor/mcp.json, or into a project-level .cursor/mcp.json.
