Cursor

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• Cursor IDE installed

Step 1: Install TaskFlow MCP Server

1npm install -g @dalmasonto/taskflow-mcp

Step 2: Configure MCP Server

Create ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (per-project):

1{
2  "mcpServers": {
3    "taskflow": {
4      "command": "taskflow-mcp",
5      "args": []
6    }
7  }
8}

Step 3: Enable Tools

1. Open Cursor Settings
2. Navigate to Tools & MCP
3. Find the taskflow server
4. Toggle on the tools you want to enable

Cursor does not have a file-based auto-approve mechanism - you enable/disable tools through the Settings UI.

Step 4: Verify

Open Cursor in your project and use the Agent mode. Ask:

"What TaskFlow MCP tools do you have available?"

The agent should list all TaskFlow tools and be able to create tasks, start timers, and log debug entries.

Tips

• Cursor uses the same .mcp.json format as Claude Code
• MCP tools are available in Agent mode (not Ask mode)
• The agent calls bootstrap on startup to learn TaskFlow workflows automatically
