# Cursor

Set up Rungsmith in Cursor and build native Perspective interfaces from your project.

## Before you start

Hosted read-only endpoint. It serves the same reviewed registry used by the website. Keep your local Perspective project and Gateway available to your agent.

Connect Cursor to the hosted endpoint. Keep your Perspective project available to the agent.

The skill installer requires Node.js 20 or later. For connection problems, follow MCP troubleshooting.

[Check the MCP connection](/docs/mcp#troubleshooting)

## 1. Add the MCP server

Merge this server entry into your existing project configuration.

.cursor/mcp.json

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rungsmith": {
      "url": "https://www.rungsmith.dev/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

## 2. Confirm the connection

Open Cursor Settings → Tools & MCP. Enable rungsmith and confirm its tools are listed.

Ask the agent to call list_components. A list of registered native components confirms the connection. This preview does not ask you to sign in.

## 3. Install the skill

From your project folder, run the installer for your operating system.

Windows · PowerShell or Command Prompt

```shell
curl.exe -fsSL https://www.rungsmith.dev/api/skills/install | node --input-type=module - --client cursor --url https://www.rungsmith.dev
```

macOS / Linux · terminal

```shell
curl -fsSL https://www.rungsmith.dev/api/skills/install | node --input-type=module - --client cursor --url https://www.rungsmith.dev
```

Destination: .cursor/skills/rungsmith-perspective/. Reload your agent after installation. If you prefer the ZIP, extract its rungsmith-perspective folder into this location.

## Build with Rungsmith

Example request

```text
Use Rungsmith to add a pump status and an operator action to my Perspective view. Find the components, read their parameters and dependencies, then adapt them to my project.
```

The agent reads your local project with its own tools. Rungsmith supplies the catalog and documentation; the hosted MCP cannot inspect your local Gateway.
