What is the Temporal MCP Server?
Connect your Temporal Cloud (or self-hosted) cluster to any AI agent and bring the power of durable execution directly into your IDE or chat via natural conversation.
What you can do
- Workflows & Executions — List, filter, and inspect active, running, or completed workflow executions
- Workflow History — Retrieve the complete sequence of events, activities, and signals to debug failures
- Visibility Search — Run complex SQL-like queries using Temporal Visibility syntax to find specific runs
- Namespace Details — Check retention periods, configurations, and metadata of your operational namespace
- Schedules & Cron — Browse all recurring workflows and predict the next execution schedules
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Temporal Address, Namespace, and API Key (or cert pathway)
- Start querying cluster states strictly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Software Engineers — debug failed workflow runs and retrieve precise event histories without opening the Temporal UI
- Platform Teams — audit namespaces and search attributes to ensure data consistency globally
- Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) — query complex visibility logs during incident responses
Built-in capabilities (7)
Retrieves information about the current namespace
Retrieves details for a specific workflow execution
Retrieves the event history for a workflow execution
Lists all workflow schedules
Lists custom search attributes available in the namespace
Returns workflow IDs, run IDs, and statuses. Lists all workflow executions in the configured namespace
g., WorkflowType="MyType" AND Status="Running"). Search workflows using Temporal Visibility Query syntax
Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Temporal into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Temporal and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 7 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 my AI agent debug a failed Temporal workflow run directly?
Yes. Instead of browsing the Temporal UI to manually dissect the execution, feed the workflow ID directly to your AI agent. It can seamlessly fetch the entire event history, identify the exact panic line or activity timeout, and immediately suggest code fixes within your IDE.
How complex can the visibility searches be via natural language?
Very complex. Because your agent understands your codebase, you can ask 'Find all workflows of type ProcessPayment that failed in the last 2 hours'. The agent formulates the perfect SQL-like syntax for the backend, parses the matching pages, and surfaces exactly which transactions failed.
Can it read scheduled jobs and Cron jobs configurations inside Temporal?
Absolutely. You can request a list of all active schedules mapped to your namespace. Your agent unpacks JSON configurations, showing definitions of workflow recurrence, enabling you to detect missing crons without interrupting your workflow.
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.
