        "uv", "run", "--directory", "/path/to/cursor-search-mcp",
        "cursor-search-mcp"
      ]

OpenAI Codex

codex mcp add cursor-search -- \
  env CURSOR_WORKSPACE_PATH=/path/to/your/repo \

Or add to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.cursor-search]
command = "env"
args = [

  "uv", "run", "--directory", "/path/to/cursor-search-mcp",
  "cursor-search-mcp"

Add to opencode.json:

{
  "mcp": {
    "cursor-search": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": "env",
      "args": [
        "CURSOR_WORKSPACE_PATH=/path/to/your/repo",
        "uv", "run", "--directory", "/path/to/cursor-search-mcp",
        "cursor-search-mcp"
      ],
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

Config (optional)

  • CURSOR_REPO_NAME / CURSOR_REPO_OWNER

  • CURSOR_WORKSPACE_PATH

  • CURSOR_ACCESS_TOKEN
