Cursor config for ReactUse MCP

npx -y @reactuses/mcp@latest

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reactuse-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@reactuses/mcp@latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Setup steps

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

ReactUse MCP + Cursor FAQ

Where is the Cursor config file?

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

Does this server require an API key or authentication?

No. It runs locally over stdio via npx and exposes read-only documentation tools, so no API key or auth is needed.

What does the server expose?

Three read-only tools — get_hook, list_hooks, and search_hooks — plus MCP resources and prompts for the ReactUse hooks library documentation.

How do I install it?

Add the @reactuses/mcp entry to your MCP client configuration with command 'npx' and args ['-y', '@reactuses/mcp@latest'], using the stdio transport, as shown in the project README.
