# Cursor

> Connect the intervyo MCP server to Cursor with an x-api-key header.

Connect intervyo to **Cursor** with an API key. Create one under **Developer → API
Keys** in intervyo first.

<Warning>
  Your API key carries your account's permissions. Treat it like a password and
  scope it to only what the assistant needs.
</Warning>

## Add the server

Add to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (or **Settings → MCP → Add**):

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "intervyo": {
      "url": "https://www.intervyo.ai/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "x-api-key": "iv_live_your_key" }
    }
  }
}
```

Cursor picks it up on save (or after a reload). Ask *"what intervyo tools do you
have?"* to confirm it loaded.

## Give the assistant expertise

<Card title="Add the Interview-Setup Skill" icon="sparkles" href="/en/mcp/skill" horizontal>
  The MCP server gives Cursor the **tools**; the **Skill** teaches it *how* to use
  them — what to ask, the build order, and the field rules that trip people up.
  Add its `SKILL.md` to your project so the agent proposes a full plan from a
  one-line brief. **Strongly recommended.**
