Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Harness into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Harness and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 11 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Harness API Key?
Log in to Harness, go to My Profile (bottom left), and select API Keys. You can generate either a Personal API Key or use a Service Account Token from there.
Where can I find my Account ID and Org ID?
The Account ID is visible in your browser's URL when logged in (e.g., account/XYZ123). The Organization ID is typically found in the project settings or sidebar (default is often 'default').
Can I trigger a pipeline execution via this integration?
Yes! Use the execute_pipeline tool by providing the project ID and pipeline ID. Harness will initiate the workflow immediately.
Is the integration secure for managing secrets?
Absolutely. The integration only lists the metadata of your secrets (like names and identifiers) through your API key. Your credentials are encrypted and stored securely in the Vinkius Cloud.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
