Set Up with Cursor

Cursor has no Smithers plugin, so we recommend the MCP server: it gives Cursor’s Agent structured tools to list, run, watch, and approve workflows.

Install (recommended)

Run in your project:

bunx smithers-orchestrator init
bunx smithers-orchestrator mcp add --agent cursor

Reopen Cursor and the Smithers tools appear in the Agent. If you also use the headless cursor-agent CLI, add the skill files too:

bunx smithers-orchestrator skills add

Ask Cursor’s Agent:

“What Smithers workflows are available here?”

It should list them via the Smithers tools. From there, ask for outcomes (What You Can Do) and Cursor drives the runs.

The agent-facing details (mcp.json shape, rules, headless mode) live in the Technical API at Cursor. You don’t need them; Cursor does.
