What is the R2R MCP Server?
Connect your R2R (Rag to Riches) deployment to an AI agent, bringing your RAG infrastructure inside your chat interface. By linking this server, the AI can query its own constructed knowledge base on demand.
What you can do
- Vector Search — Perform semantic similarity queries across your document database to retrieve contextually relevant chunks of information.
- Execute RAG Queries — Use the 'rag_query' endpoint to have the R2R server directly summarize information based on vector data.
- Knowledge Management — Call the API to list ingested documents, read metadata attributes, and filter logical collections.
- Instance Health Monitoring — Quickly ping the connection using health checks to verify your system is responsive.
How it works
- Enable the server integration.
- Provide your active R2R Base URL and Auth Key (if applicable).
- Trigger RAG requests natively within your supported chat interfaces.
Who is this for?
- AI & ML Engineers — Query your vector instances locally without needing Postman or external scripts.
- Data Custodians — Quickly verify document ingestions and browse metadata directly inside the terminal.
- Backend Developers — Audit engine responses and fine-tune semantic retrieval limits easily.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns R2R into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from R2R and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 6 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
What URL should I use for the R2R API URL?
If you are running R2R locally via Docker, it's typically http://localhost:7272. If you are using SciPhi Cloud or have it deployed on your own infrastructure, provide the exact public or private endpoint.
Do I need an R2R API Key?
It depends on your deployment. Open deployments for local testing may not require a key. Production deployments or SciPhi Cloud environments require you to provide the generated key.
What is the difference between RAG and Search?
The search tool issues a standard vector similarity match—it returns relevant raw snippets from your database. The rag_query tool asks the R2R server to perform the search and compute an intelligent answer wrapping those snippets using an LLM.
Are document ingestions possible via chat?
No. This integration is designed for observational toolsets (listing documents, inspecting states, querying the index). Heavy ingestions of PDFs or websites should be handled through scripts or the dashboard.
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.
