Setting Up MCP in Cursor

This guide walks you through configuring Cursor to use the Agent Interviews MCP server, allowing you to access your interview data directly from your coding environment.

Prerequisites​

  • An Agent Interviews account with API access
  • Your Agent Interviews API key
  • Cursor installed on your computer

Step 1: Get Your API Key​

  1. Log in to your Agent Interviews account
  2. Navigate to Settings → API Keys
  3. Generate a new API key if you don't already have one
  4. Copy the API key - you'll need it for the configuration

Step 2: Configure Cursor​

  1. Open Cursor
  2. Go to Settings (gear icon in the bottom left)
  3. Select "MCP" from the settings menu
  4. Click "Add Server"
  5. Add the following configuration:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "AgentInterviews": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote@latest",
        "https://api.agentinterviews.com/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization:${API_KEY}"
      ],
      "env": {
        "API_KEY": "Api-Key YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}
  1. Replace YOUR_API_KEY_HERE with your actual API key
  2. Save the configuration

Step 3: Verify the Connection​

  1. Open a new chat with Claude in Cursor
  2. Type "Check MCP tools"
  3. Ask "What Agent Interviews tools are available?"
  4. Claude should respond with information about the available tools

Using MCP in Cursor​

Once configured, you can interact with your Agent Interviews data by asking Claude questions about your interviews, projects, and more. For example:

  • "Show me my recent interviews"
  • "Get the transcript from my interview with candidate X"
  • "What's the status of project Y?"

Claude will use the appropriate Agent Interviews MCP tools to retrieve the information you need.

Troubleshooting​

If you encounter issues with the MCP connection:

  1. Verify your API key is correct
  2. Ensure your account has API access enabled
  3. Check your internet connection
  4. Try restarting Cursor
  5. Make sure your API key has the necessary permissions
