Cursor IDE Setup

Install in one click

Or add manually

Step 1: Open MCP settings

Open Cursor settings and navigate to the MCP Servers section, or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json directly.

Step 2: Add the server

Add the Varolio MCP server config for your region:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "varolio": {
      "url": "https://mcp.varolio.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Authenticate

After adding the server, Cursor will attempt to connect and open your browser for authentication:

1. Log in with your Varolio credentials
2. Select your workspace
3. Click Allow
4. Close the browser tab and return to Cursor

The connection status should show as connected in Cursor's MCP settings.

Use tools

In Cursor's AI chat, you can now ask questions about your Varolio workspace:

• "Show me open cases assigned to me"
• "Find threads mentioning order #5678"
• "What are my action items?"

Cursor will automatically call the appropriate Varolio tools.

Troubleshooting

"Connection refused": Verify the MCP server URL matches your region.

Tools not showing: Click the refresh button next to the MCP server in settings. If tools still don't appear, your workspace may not have MCP enabled.

Re-authenticate: Delete the server entry and re-add it to trigger a fresh OAuth flow.
