Cursor

Cursor supports MCP servers via its mcp.json config. The Estaite server can be registered globally (all projects) or per-project.

Prerequisites

• Cursor 0.40 or newer.
• An Estaite MCP API key from estaite.com/developers.

Config file location

Scope	Path
Global	~/.cursor/mcp.json
Project	.cursor/mcp.json in your repo root

If the file doesn’t exist, create it.

Config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "estaite": {
      "url": "https://mcp.estaite.com",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your key.

Apply

Open Cursor → Settings → MCP and verify the estaite server is listed and showing a green status dot. If you edit the config file with Cursor open, toggle the server off and back on to force a reconnect.

Use it

In Composer or chat, prompt with anything that touches US rental data — e.g. “What’s the median 2BR apartment rent in Austin’s East Riverside submarket right now?” Cursor will surface the Estaite tool calls in the tool log.

Troubleshooting

• Server not connecting — re-open Settings → MCP and check the status panel. A red dot usually indicates a network or auth failure.
• 401 — the API key is wrong, malformed, or revoked.
• Older Cursor versions — if your build doesn’t support url-based servers, use the mcp-remote shim approach from the Claude Desktop guide under command / args.
