Cursor

Configure Cursor to use docpenny’s MCP tools for PDF generation.

Prerequisites

• A docpenny API key (create one in Settings → API Keys in the dashboard)

Configuration

Project-level

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docpenny": {
      "url": "https://mcp.docpenny.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor does not require a type field for remote MCP servers — the url is sufficient.

User-level (global)

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json to make docpenny available across all your Cursor projects using the same structure.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Solution
Auth required or 401	Check your x-api-key value. Keys can be managed in the dashboard.
Connection refused	Verify the URL is https://mcp.docpenny.com/mcp.
Tools not appearing	Restart Cursor or run Developer: Reload Window from the command palette.
