Cursor

Connect Shipchart to Cursor to manage your portfolio without leaving your editor.

1. Generate an API token

Select read and write abilities. Copy the token immediately.

2. Add the MCP server

Open Cursor and go to Settings → MCP (or press Cmd+Shift+P and search "MCP").

Click Add new MCP server and select Streamable HTTP as the type. You can also manually edit your ~/.cursor/mcp.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shipchart": {
      "url": "https://shipchart.app/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Restart Cursor

Restart Cursor to load the new MCP server. You should see the Shipchart tools available in the MCP section of settings.

4. Test it

Open the Cursor chat (Cmd+L) and ask:

"What's my current monthly revenue (across all projects)?"

Cursor will use the Shipchart tools to fetch your portfolio data and respond.

Troubleshooting

Server shows "disconnected" in settings

Check the URL and token are correct. Click the refresh button next to the server in Cursor's MCP settings.

Tools not appearing

Make sure the JSON config is valid and the server is showing as "connected" in Cursor settings. Restart Cursor if needed.
