Cursor

This connects Cursor to the Halyard MCP server so the agent can search knowledge, ask teammates, and capture answers. The plugin is the recommended path — it ships the MCP server plus the skills and an always-on rule that teach the agent when to search, ask, and log. Manual MCP config gives you the tools only.

Official docs

Option 1: Install the Halyard plugin (recommended)

Install Halyard from the Cursor Marketplace — search for “Halyard”.

The plugin installs:

• The org-kb MCP server (mcp.usehalyard.ai) — search, ask-expert, and knowledge-capture tools
• Six skills — gather-context, ask-for-help, log-work, review-work, triage-knowledge, mark-terms
• A knowledge-first rule that orients every session toward the knowledge base: search before substantive work, capture outcomes after

You can also install straight from the repository before (or without) the marketplace listing:

git clone https://github.com/halyard-labs/claude-plugin-marketplace
ln -s "$(pwd)/claude-plugin-marketplace/plugins/halyard" ~/.cursor/plugins/local/halyard

Option 2: Manual MCP config

Add the Halyard server to your project’s .cursor/mcp.json:

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "halyard": {
      "url": "https://mcp.usehalyard.ai"
    }
  }
}

Note

The Halyard CLI upserts the halyard entry and preserves any other servers you already have in this file.

Authorize

Reload Cursor after installing the plugin or editing the config. On its first call to a Halyard tool, Cursor opens a browser to authorize against your Halyard account. Approve it once; the bearer token is then attached to every request.

Verify

Ask the agent to identify you and run a search:

Use Halyard to tell me who I am, then search the knowledge base for our most recent decision.

Expect a whoami call returning your user and organization, followed by a search_knowledge call. If the tools do not appear, see Troubleshooting.
