# Connect to Cursor

> Add GetQR to Cursor with one click or with mcp.json.

Add GetQR to Cursor as an MCP server so you can create QR codes and check scans from Cursor's chat. Install it with one click from GetQR, or add it to your `mcp.json` file.

## Before you start

* A GetQR account with the Admin or Editor role, and an active subscription. See [AI connectors overview](/ai-connectors/overview).
* The Cursor desktop app on your computer. Cursor can only be connected from a computer.

## Install with one click

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open My Account">
    In GetQR on your computer, click your name at the bottom of the sidebar, then click **My Account**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the AI connectors tab">
    Click **AI connectors**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the connection">
    Click **Connect an assistant**. If you already have a connection, click **Connect** instead.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Cursor">
    Select **Cursor** in the dialog.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Cursor">
    Click **Open Cursor**. Your browser asks to open Cursor; allow it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install the server">
    Cursor shows the GetQR MCP server, already filled in. Confirm the install.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in">
    In Cursor's MCP settings, start the sign-in for GetQR. Your browser opens the GetQR sign-in page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve access">
    Sign in to GetQR if asked. Review the permissions and click **Allow**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the connection">
    Back in GetQR, the dialog updates automatically and shows "Cursor connected". Cursor now appears under **Connected clients**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Add it manually

Use this if the one-click install doesn't work, or to share the setup with your team.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open MCP settings in Cursor">
    In Cursor, open **Customize** → **MCPs** → **Add MCP** (or **Add server**, depending on your Cursor version).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the GetQR server">
    Add GetQR to your `mcp.json` file:

    <CodeGroup>
      ```json Global (~/.cursor/mcp.json) theme={null}
      {
        "mcpServers": {
          "GetQR": {
            "url": "https://getqr.com/api/mcp"
          }
        }
      }
      ```

      ```json Project (.cursor/mcp.json) theme={null}
      {
        "mcpServers": {
          "GetQR": {
            "url": "https://getqr.com/api/mcp"
          }
        }
      }
      ```
    </CodeGroup>

    If the file already lists other servers, add the `"GetQR"` entry next to them inside `mcpServers`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the file">
    Save `mcp.json`. GetQR appears in Cursor's MCP list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in and approve">
    Start the sign-in for GetQR in Cursor. On the GetQR page, click **Allow**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  You don't need an API key. Cursor signs in with OAuth and renews access automatically.
</Note>

## Try it

Open Cursor's chat and ask:

```text theme={null}
Using GetQR, create a Website QR code for https://example.com/launch titled "Launch page" and give me a PNG download link at 2048 px.
```

See [Example prompts](/ai-connectors/example-prompts) for more ideas.

## Common issues

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Nothing happens when I click Open Cursor">
    Make sure the Cursor desktop app is installed, and allow your browser to open it. Otherwise, [add the server manually](#add-it-manually).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="GetQR shows “Set up Cursor on desktop”">
    You opened the dialog on a phone. Cursor is a desktop app, so it can only be connected from your computer.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="GetQR shows as needing login or with an error in Cursor">
    Access tokens last 1 hour and Cursor renews them automatically. If Cursor wasn't used for 30 days, or you revoked access, sign in again from Cursor's MCP settings.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The GetQR page says “AI connectors aren't available”">
    Viewers can't connect AI assistants. Ask the workspace Admin to make you an Editor.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The GetQR page says “An active subscription is required”">
    AI assistants can connect only to accounts with an active subscription. See the [Help Center](https://getqr.com/help) for plan questions.
