Cursor connects to SeekOut MCP over Streamable HTTP and signs you in with your own SeekOut account. Install the server for all your projects or for a single workspace.

​
Prerequisites

  • An active SeekOut account
  • Cursor installed

​
Setup

1

Install SeekOut in Cursor

Install in CursorCursor opens and prompts you to add the seekout-search server.
2

Sign in to SeekOut

Cursor opens your browser to complete the SeekOut sign-in. If it doesn’t, open Cursor Settings → Tools & Integrations, find seekout-search, and start the login from there.
3

Enable the server

In Settings → Tools & Integrations, confirm the seekout-search toggle is on and that the SeekOut tools are listed.
4

Start using SeekOut MCP

In the agent panel, try:

Use SeekOut to find security engineers in New York with cloud compliance experience.

You can access only the data and actions allowed by your SeekOut role.
Cursor asks for approval before it runs an MCP tool. You can allowlist the SeekOut tools you use often so they run without a prompt.

​
Troubleshooting

​
The server is listed but has no tools

Sign-in usually hasn’t completed. Open Settings → Tools & Integrations, start the SeekOut login again, then toggle the server off and on to reconnect.

​
SeekOut is missing in another project

A server added to .cursor/mcp.json only applies to that project. Move the entry to ~/.cursor/mcp.json to use SeekOut everywhere.

​
The agent answers without using SeekOut

Confirm the seekout-search toggle is on, then name SeekOut in your request, for example “Use SeekOut to find…”. See the Cursor MCP documentation for full details.
