Add the MemPalace MCP server to Cursor

Config last verified Nov 10, 2026

The exact config to run MemPalace in Cursor — paste it in, restart, and the tools load.

Prerequisites

  • Cursor installed.

Setup

1. Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json

2. Add this configuration

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json

~/.cursor/mcp.json
json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mempalace": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "mempalace",
        "mempalace-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MEMPALACE_PALACE_PATH": "<MEMPALACE_PALACE_PATH>"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Restart Cursor and confirm the MemPalace tools load.

Gotchas

Cursor keeps MCP servers under an "mcpServers" object in ~/.cursor/mcp.json for global use, and also reads a project-scoped .cursor/mcp.json so a repository can ship its own servers. Remote servers are configured with a bare "url" field and connect natively, with OAuth handled in-app when a server requires it.
