  2. Alloy MCP Server - Already created with an access URL

​
Setup Instructions

​
Step 1: Get Your Access URL

First, create an MCP server if you haven’t already: 
curl -X POST https://mcp.runalloy.com/api/servers \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "My MCP Server"}'
Copy the accessUrl from the response: 
{
  "accessUrl": "https://mcp.runalloy.com/mcp/your-server-id/your-token"
}

​
Step 2: Configure Cursor

Add to your project’s .cursor/mcp.json file: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Alloy Automation": {
      "url": "https://mcp.runalloy.com/mcp/<server-id>/<token>"
    }
  }
}

​
Option B: Global Settings

Create ~/.cursor/mcp.json in your home directory: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Alloy Automation": {
      "url": "https://mcp.runalloy.com/mcp/<server-id>/<token>"
    }
  }
}
Replace the URL with your actual accessUrl and restart Cursor.
