Open Settings → MCP → Add server and paste:
https://app.annsa.ai/mcp
Annsa is a remote server — nothing to install, no npm package. Cursor writes the entry to ~/.cursor/mcp.json.
01Add the server in Settings
02Authenticate
The first use opens a browser on Annsa's consent screen — approve once and the six tools appear. There is no API key to paste and no token file to manage; access is your Annsa login, scoped to your workspace.
03The six tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
annsa.priorities | Ranked priorities with scores, volume, trend and shipping-history flags |
annsa.spec | Full spec for any priority, plus related context from past ships |
annsa.act | Build, ship, share, assign, correct, park, submit feedback or a transcript |
annsa.ask | Search feedback, priorities, specs and help articles |
annsa.surveys | How your in-product surveys are performing — each one with its instrument and results |
annsa.help | How Annsa itself works — product and how-to questions |
04Three things to ask first
"What should I work on today?" · "Show me the spec for priority #1" · "What feedback mentions performance?" · "Have we shipped anything like this before?"
05Re-authenticating
Remove and re-add the server in Settings → MCP, or trigger any Annsa tool — an expired session reopens the consent screen.
06When it doesn't connect
"MCP not found": check ~/.cursor/mcp.json has the annsa entry with the exact URL.
Tools listed but failing: re-authenticate — the browser consent screen confirms which workspace you're connected to.
"No priorities": import some feedback first.
07How do I add an MCP server to Cursor?
Settings → MCP → Add server, then paste the server's URL. For Annsa that is https://app.annsa.ai/mcp. Cursor stores it in ~/.cursor/mcp.json and opens a browser to authenticate on first use. No package install is involved for remote servers.
08Where is Cursor's MCP config file?
~/.cursor/mcp.json. Every server added through Settings → MCP lands there, and editing the file by hand works too — Cursor reloads it on restart. Remote servers need only a name and URL.
