Configure the MCP server in Cursor

  1. Open Cursor Settings (Cmd/Ctrl Shift J).
  2. Select Tools & MCP.
  3. Click New MCP Server.
  4. Add the configuration below to ~/.cursor/mcp.json.
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nen": {
      "url": "https://mcp.getnen.ai/mcp",

      }
    }

3

Restart Cursor

Completely quit and reopen Cursor (Cmd+Q / Ctrl+Q). A window reload is not enough.

Verify the connection

Ask the AI agent in Cursor:
List workflows to verify the MCP server is working
You should see the MCP server tools responding with a list of workflows.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Validate JSON syntax in ~/.cursor/mcp.json.
  • Make sure the config uses url (remote) and not command (local).
  • Fully quit and reopen Cursor after any configuration change.
  • Verify your API key is correct and active.
  • Ask your Nen customer engineer to verify the key and deployment.
  • Check your internet connection, proxy, or firewall.
  • Confirm https://mcp.getnen.ai/mcp is correct and reachable.
