Cursor config for Intlayer MCP Server

npx -y @intlayer/mcp
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "intlayer-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@intlayer/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Setup steps

  1. 1Open Cursor → Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server (or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json directly).
  2. 2Paste the Intlayer MCP Server config below into the "mcpServers" object.
  3. 3Fill in placeholder secrets, then save.
  4. 4Cursor reloads MCP servers automatically — check Settings → MCP for a green status dot.
  5. 5Ask Cursor to use one of Intlayer MCP Server's tools to confirm it's connected.

Before you start

  • Node.js with npx available
  • An MCP-capable client (Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, ChatGPT, etc.)
  • An Intlayer project (for CLI and dictionary/CMS tools)

Intlayer MCP Server + Cursor FAQ

Where is the Cursor config file?

Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Paste the Intlayer MCP Server config there under the "mcpServers" key and restart the client.

Is Intlayer MCP Server safe to use with Cursor?

The local stdio server runs Intlayer CLI commands on your machine (build, fill, push, pull, extract) and can manage CMS dictionaries/organizations, so review actions before allowing them. The remote Streamable HTTP server at https://mcp.intlayer.org is public, unauthenticated, exposes only documentation tools, and its availability is not guaranteed.

Which clients are supported?

Any MCP-capable environment, including Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and AI assistants like Gemini and ChatGPT.

What is the difference between the local and remote servers?

The local stdio server (@intlayer/mcp) integrates all features including CLI and API tools and is recommended. The remote Streamable HTTP server at https://mcp.intlayer.org is public, unauthenticated, and free, but only exposes documentation tools and has no availability guarantee.

How do I set it up quickly?

Run `npx intlayer init mcp`, which asks for your platform and transport and updates the right config file (e.g. .cursor/mcp.json, .vscode/mcp.json, or the Claude Desktop config). You can also use the Intlayer VS Code extension or add the config block manually.
