Cursor

Add Oort to Cursor. Each workspace gets its own memories.

1
Install the CLI.
Terminal
```
$ npm i -g oortmem
```
Skip this if you already have it. Node.js 22.15 or newer.
2
Connect Cursor.
Terminal
```
$ oort connect cursor
```
Oort backs up the file, prints the change, then adds one server named oort. Add --dry-run to see the change without writing it.
Restart Cursor.
Quit Cursor, then open your project again.
Check it is connected.
Open Settings, then MCP. oort should be listed with its tools.

What Oort writes

~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "oort": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "/abs/path/to/oort",
      "args": ["mcp", "--project", "${workspaceFolder}"]
    }
  }
}

command is the full path of your installed oort. The rest of the file stays as it was. The first change keeps a copy of the original next to it, ending in .oort-backup.

Undo

Terminal

$ oort disconnect cursor

This removes only the oort entry. Your memories stay in ~/.oort. If something does not work, see Troubleshooting.

Which memories it sees

Cursor fills in ${workspaceFolder} with the folder you have open. Oort then uses that project's memories, plus your global ones.
