# Cursor

> Connect Cursor to the Poix MCP server

Cursor supports remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP via a project or global `mcp.json` file.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Get a Poix Token">
    If you don't already have one, create a `poix-` Token in the [Dashboard](https://app.poix.io/mcp). See [Authentication](/mcp/authentication) for details.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open your MCP settings">
    In Cursor, go to **Settings → MCP** (or create `.cursor/mcp.json` in your project directly).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the Poix server">
    <CodeGroup>
      ```json mcp.json theme={null}
      {
        "mcpServers": {
          "poix": {
            "url": "https://mcp.poix.io",
            "headers": {
              "Authorization": "Bearer poix-…"
            }
          }
        }
      }
      ```
    </CodeGroup>

    Replace `poix-…` with your actual Token, then save the file.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify the connection">
    Reopen Cursor's MCP settings panel — `poix` should show as connected with its tools listed. You can now ask Cursor's agent to search YouTube, pull video or channel details, or fetch captions directly.
