Connect Cursor to the Didit MCP Server

Cursor connects to the hosted Didit MCP server (https://mcp.didit.me/mcp) with one install link or three lines of mcp.json. On first use Cursor opens Log in with Didit in your browser; there is no API key to copy.

Add Didit to Cursor

Opens Cursor’s install page, which launches Cursor and adds the server didit with URL mcp.didit.me/mcp. Confirm the install, then sign in with Didit.

The install link, if you want to put it behind your own button or in a README:

https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=didit&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21jcC5kaWRpdC5tZS9tY3AifQ%3D%3D

It wraps Cursor’s deeplink, which you can also use directly:

cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=didit&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21jcC5kaWRpdC5tZS9tY3AifQ==

The config value is the base64 of {"url":"https://mcp.didit.me/mcp"}.

Set up by method

Install link
mcp.json
Command line

Click Add Didit to Cursor →. Your browser asks to open Cursor; allow it.
Cursor shows the server didit with URL https://mcp.didit.me/mcp. Confirm the install.
When Cursor lists didit as needing sign-in, click to connect and complete Log in with Didit in the browser.

If Cursor does not open, the install page prints the configuration for you to paste into mcp.json by hand.

Add Didit to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (every project) or .cursor/mcp.json (one project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "didit": {
      "url": "https://mcp.didit.me/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Keep any servers you already have inside mcpServers. On first use Cursor registers itself with Didit automatically and opens the browser for Log in with Didit.

The cursor command can add the server to your user profile:

cursor --add-mcp '{"name":"didit","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.didit.me/mcp"}'

It prints Added MCP servers: didit. Open Cursor and sign in when it asks.

No API key in the config. The server uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and acts as you: only in the organizations you approve at sign-in, with your role’s permissions. See Authentication.

Check that it works

In Cursor’s agent chat, ask:

Use the Didit MCP server to call didit_context_get and list my organizations and applications.

The agent calls didit_context_get and lists your organizations with their applications. Then put it to work on your codebase:

“Create a sandbox KYC workflow with ID verification and liveness, then add the Didit web SDK to this app using that workflow.”
“Register a webhook destination for session status updates pointing at my /api/didit/webhook route, and write the handler that verifies the signature.”
“Create a test session for user_123 and give me the verification link.”

Troubleshooting

Cursor did not open from the link. Paste the JSON from the mcp.json tab instead.
Sign-in loops or fails. Log in at business.didit.me in your default browser first, then connect again.
A tool answers with missing_scope. Your role in that organization lacks the permission. See roles and permissions.
The agent says it has no Didit tools. Check that the didit server is enabled in Cursor’s MCP settings and finished sign-in. See Troubleshooting.
