Cursor Integration

📚 Navigation: ← Back to Agent Context Kit | Claude Integration → | Copilot Studio Integration →

Connect Cursor to DataHub so the AI agent can search your data catalog, inspect schemas, and trace lineage — all without leaving the editor.

Prerequisites​

DataHub Cloud​

Navigate to Cursor → Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP, add a new server, and paste:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datahub-cloud": {
      "url": "https://<tenant>.acryl.io/integrations/ai/mcp/",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <token>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace <tenant> with your DataHub Cloud tenant name and <token> with your personal access token.

Keep Your Token Secret

If your MCP config is checked into version control, reference an environment variable instead of a literal token:

"Authorization": "Bearer ${DATAHUB_TOKEN}"

Self-Hosted DataHub​

Install uv (curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh), then add a new MCP server in Cursor settings with:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datahub": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-server-datahub@latest"],
      "env": {
        "DATAHUB_GMS_URL": "<your-datahub-url>",
        "DATAHUB_GMS_TOKEN": "<your-datahub-token>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Verify​

After saving, the MCP settings page should show a green dot and list the DataHub tools. If the dot doesn't appear, check that:

  • The JSON is valid (no trailing commas).
  • For self-hosted: uvx is on Cursor's PATH — run which uvx and use the full path in command if needed.

For general troubleshooting, see the MCP server guide.
