# Cursor

> Give Cursor persistent, cross-session memory with Memanto — via the CLI connector or as an MCP server.

# Cursor + Memanto

Connect [Cursor](https://cursor.com) to Memanto so it can store facts, decisions, and preferences and recall them across sessions.

## Connect via CLI (recommended)

```bash theme={null}
memanto connect cursor
```

This installs a Cursor-specific rules file (`.cursor/rules/memanto.mdc`) and the `memanto-memory` skill into your project. Add `--global` to install to `~/.cursor/` for every project:

```bash theme={null}
memanto connect cursor --global
```

## Connect via MCP

Cursor is an MCP client, so you can alternatively register Memanto as an MCP server. Edit `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (per-user) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (per-project):

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memanto": {
      "command": "memanto-mcp",
      "env": {
        "MOORCHEH_API_KEY": "mch_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
        "MEMANTO_DEFAULT_AGENT_ID": "cursor-workspace"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Reload Cursor and confirm `memanto` shows up with **7 tools**. See the [MCP integration guide](/integrations/mcp) for the full server reference.
