Connect Cursor

First turn on MCP in BaiShou and copy the URL that ends with /mcp. Keep BaiShou running.

1. Open the MCP list

Click Customize in the left sidebar, select the MCPs tab, then New MCP Server.

2. Choose the User scope

When the scope menu appears, pick User, not a workspace, so every project can use it.

3. Edit mcp.json

This opens %USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json (macOS / Linux: ~/.cursor/mcp.json). Add BaiShou under mcpServers, using the URL from your MCP page:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "baishou": {
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1:31004/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Same computer: 127.0.0.1. If BaiShou authentication is on, add headers.Authorization. Save the file.

4. Confirm it is connected

Back on the MCPs list, BaiShou should show as connected with 14 tools enabled.

If you see 0 tools: is BaiShou running, does the URL end with /mcp, and does the token match? See MCP server.

5. Ask about a diary

Start a new chat and ask “what have I eaten lately?” If it lists meals from your diary, the tools are working.
