Cursor is an AI-powered code editor built on VSCode. It delivers smart, collaborative coding with integrated analytics and agent support.

5 Tools

Introduction

Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, available on the web, in the desktop app, and on mobile. Cowork is its agent for knowledge work, and it runs on all of those surfaces too. Connected to your apps, Claude can work with your files and services to accomplish complex tasks on your behalf.

This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Cursor account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to list all active cloud agents for this project, show recent code changes tracked by Cursor, summarize analytics for your team's workspace, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

Setup is the same on Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork, and you only need to do it once. The connector is tied to your account, so it's available in all three.

Connecting Cursor to Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork

Two ways to add the Composio connector. Pick whichever you prefer.

1. Add with one click

Click the button. Claude opens with the Composio connector filled in. Click Add, then go to step 2.

Add to Claude

Add manually

In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top.

Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL:

bash
https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
Add custom connector dialog with Composio MCP server URL

2. Authorize in your browser

Click Connect. You'll be redirected to a browser window where you can authorize Composio to continue.

3. Connect your Cursor account

Back in Claude, ask it to connect to Cursor or give it any Cursor-related task.

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "List all active cloud agents for this project"
  • "Show recent code changes tracked by Cursor"
  • "Summarize analytics for your team's workspace"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Claude, and your Cursor account is ready to use.

What is the Cursor Claude Connector, and what's possible with it?

The Cursor MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Cursor account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Cursor operations on your behalf.

Troubleshooting

1. Why does Claude not use the Composio connector for Cursor?

The connector can show as connected, but Claude must use it in each Cursor conversation.

  • Click + at the lower left of the chat, or type /.
  • Hover Connectors.
  • Turn on Composio.
  • Ask Claude to connect to Cursor again.

2. Why does Claude show an MCP server error before Cursor connects?

Claude can show Couldn't reach the MCP server or Authorization with the MCP server failed when you add the connector for Cursor.

  • Check that the connector URL is https://connect.composio.dev/mcp.
  • Connectors run from Anthropic's cloud, so your device network is usually not the problem.
  • Add the connector again from Customize > Connectors, then ask Claude to connect Cursor.
  • If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev.

3. Why does the Cursor authorization link not work?

The Composio connector is one server. Your Cursor account connects separately when Claude asks for it.

  • If the browser does not open, or the link expires, ask Claude to retry the Cursor connection.
  • Composio creates a fresh Cursor authorization link.
  • Open that link in your browser and finish the Cursor sign-in.

4. Why do Cursor actions fail after they worked before?

The Cursor connection can expire or lose permission.

  • Ask Claude to inspect the Cursor connection.
  • If the connection is unhealthy, disconnect it when Claude prompts you.
  • Reconnect the Cursor account and retry the action.
  • If Claude shows a permission prompt, approve it before Claude changes data in Cursor.
  • If the action still fails with a permission error, check that the connected account has that permission in Cursor itself.

5. How do I switch to a different Cursor account?

Claude can manage the Cursor connection for you.

  • Ask Claude to disconnect or delete the current Cursor account.
  • Ask Claude to connect Cursor again.
  • Open the new Composio authorization link for Cursor.
  • Sign in with the other Cursor account in the browser.
  • After the account connects, ask Claude to retry the Cursor task.

6. Why is my Cursor connection missing in Claude Desktop or on a Team plan?

The connector belongs to your Claude account, so your Cursor connection works in Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork.

  • In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors.
  • Next to Composio, click ⋮ and click Clear cache.
  • If Cursor tools still do not appear, click ⋮, disconnect, remove the connector, and add it again.
  • On Team or Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner must enable the connector before you can connect Cursor.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Cursor MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Cursor tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Cursor and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Yes, you can. Claude Cowork fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Cursor tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Cursor scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Cursor data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
