Connect Cursor to RawQuotes

1. Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (create the file if it isn't there):

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "rawquotes": {
         "url": "https://mcp.rawquotes.io/mcp"
       }
     }
   }
   

2. Cursor asks you to sign in. RawQuotes opens in your browser — choose what Cursor can do and click Allow access.

Already have other servers in that file? Add only the "rawquotes" entry inside "mcpServers".

With an API key instead

For a setup without a browser sign-in, send an API key as a Bearer token. Keep the key in an environment variable, not in the file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rawquotes": {
      "url": "https://mcp.rawquotes.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:RAWQUOTES_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

The assistant then has exactly the access of that key. A key works on the MCP server only on a plan that includes AI assistants.

Next: what Cursor can see and do, or prompts to start with.
