What is the JWT Decoder & Verifier MCP Server?
While an AI Agent can base64-decode a JSON Web Token to read its claims, it is physically incapable of verifying the cryptographic signature. This means an AI could accept a forged token or an expired session without knowing. This MCP solves that by offloading the mathematical signature verification to the V8 engine.
The Superpowers
- Cryptographic Verification: Uses
jsonwebtokento strictly verify the token signature against the provided secret key. - Local Decoding: Extract user IDs, roles, and expiration dates instantly without network latency.
Built-in capabilities (1)
Pass the JWT string and optionally a secret or public key. The engine decodes the header, payload, and validates the signature offline. Decodes JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and mathematically verifies cryptographic signatures offline
Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns JWT Decoder & Verifier into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from JWT Decoder & Verifier and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 1 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
Can I decode a token without the secret?
Yes, if you omit the secret, it will only decode the payload, but it will not verify authenticity.
Does it check expiration dates?
Yes, if the secret is provided, it will automatically throw an error if the token is expired.
What algorithms does it support?
It supports standard JWT algorithms including HS256, HS384, and HS512.
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.
