Users: Connect Cursor to the AI Gateway

To securely access your company's enterprise applications directly from your Cursor workspace, you must connect it to the JumpCloud AI Gateway. Connecting through JumpCloud ensures your enterprise data remains secure and your access is verified.

Configuring Cursor

You can connect Cursor to the AI Gateway using Cursor's built-in MCP interface:

1. Open the Cursor application.
2. Go to Cursor Settings > Tools & MCPs and scroll down to Installed MCP Servers.
3. Under New MCP Server, click + Add a Custom MCP Server.
4. Copy the following and paste it into the mcp.json file:

5. Click Save.
6. In the list of Installed MCP Servers, click Connect next to jumpcloud-ai-gateway.
7. Proceed to the next section to authenticate.

Authenticating Your Tools

Once Cursor is connected to the gateway, you must authorize and authenticate to the specific enterprise tools (such as Atlassian) before the AI can access them.

1. You'll be redirected to the JumpCloud AI Gateway authorization page.
2. Review the list of available enterprise tools and select the checkbox next to each tool you want your AI client to access.
3. Authenticate to the selected tools based on their required connection method:
   • OAuth: Click Connect via OAuth. You'll be redirected to the application to securely sign in, and then returned to this page.
   • API Key: Enter your API key for the application in the text field and click Save. Click the documentation link provided in the UI if you need help finding your API token. 
4. Once all required tools display a green Connected status, click Authorize tools at the bottom of the page.
5. You are automatically redirected back to Cursor. Your AI client can now use the tools authorized through the gateway.
