Connect Cursor

Updated 2026-10-18

Add a URL or a command to mcp.json, for one project or for every project.

Steps

1. Create (or open) ~/.cursor/mcp.json for all projects, or .cursor/mcp.json in a project root for that project only.
2. Add one of the blocks below inside mcpServers and save.
3. In Cursor's settings, open the MCP section and check that the server is on and its tools are listed.

Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dyslexiasteps": {
      "url": "https://mcp.dyslexiasteps.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dyslexiasteps": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "dyslexiasteps-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Check it works

Ask: “Using Dyslexia Steps, how many English word lists cover kindergarten?” The answer should be 23.
