Monk and the Cursor agent run in the same IDE window. The Monk MCP server is enabled automatically during setup — all you need to do is let Cursor see it.

​
Prerequisites

Make sure you have completed the Monk setup and the MCP server step shows as running in the setup screen.

​
Setup

1

Restart Cursor

Fully quit and reopen Cursor so it picks up the Monk config in .cursor/mcp.json.
2

Verify Monk is visible

Open Cursor Settings (Cmd+Shift+J / Ctrl+Shift+J) and go to Tools & MCP. Monk should be listed as an MCP server.
3

Start using Monk

Cursor Agent picks up Monk tools automatically. It will ask for approval before calling them — approve and go.Cursor agent communicating with Monk

Deploy your first app

Monk is connected — now deploy your project

​
Troubleshooting

If Monk does not appear in Tools & MCP, confirm the project is open at the correct root, Monk MCP is enabled for this workspace, and Cursor has been restarted after the config was generated.
