Cursor - Equibles

Cursor

Cursor connects to the Equibles MCP server through its mcp.json config, authenticated with an API key.

1. Install Cursor

Download the editor from cursor.com and sign in.

2. Add the Equibles server

Create an API key at /dashboard/apikeys (it starts with eq_ and is shown once), then add Equibles to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "equibles": {
      "url": "https://mcp.equibles.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer eq_your_api_key" }
    }
  }
}

For a single project instead of every project, put the same JSON in .cursor/mcp.json at the project root. You can also add the server from Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server.

3. Test it

Open Cursor's chat (Agent mode) and ask any of these — it should call an Equibles tool:

› Show me Apple's last five daily closes. Prices

› Who are NVIDIA's top institutional holders this quarter? 13F

› Summarize Microsoft's most recent earnings call. Earnings

Troubleshooting

Server not appearing?

Fully restart Cursor after editing mcp.json, then check Settings → MCP shows Equibles enabled with a green dot.

Model answers without Equibles data?

Use Agent mode and tell it explicitly to "use the Equibles MCP server".

401 / access denied?

Your key is missing or wrong — re-copy it from /dashboard/apikeys into the Authorization header. If you're over your daily limit, see Rate limits.
