How to Use the AssessTEAM MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I install the AssessTEAM MCP server in Cursor?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root directory. Add the server under your config keys, and the editor will load the toolset instantly.

Q: How does this MCP Server handle project lists in Cursor?

The agent runs listprojects to pull your active work items directly into your chat. This lets you reference real project IDs while writing your code.

Q: Can I customize the AssessTEAM integration globally within Cursor?

Build tools using live AssessTEAM data in Cursor

The `get_profitability_report` tool injects real financial metrics directly into your workspace. Instead of writing code against mock data, your editor uses live project margins to build your internal dashboards. This MCP setup lets the AI write functions that handle actual API responses. It eliminates the guesswork when you are building custom reporting interfaces for your finance team.

Log developer time without leaving your files

The `create_timesheet_entry` tool lets you submit hours via MCP directly from your editor sidebar. You don't have to break your focus or open a web app to log your daily engineering work. Run `list_timesheets` to verify what you have already logged for the week. The agent checks your entries against your local git commits to make sure nothing got missed.

Query team structures during development

The `list_employees` tool brings your active directory straight into your chat context. This helps you map out user IDs and team structures when writing custom integrations. Combine this with `list_organizational_teams` to verify how departments are grouped. You get instant verification of your organization's hierarchy without digging through API documentation.
