Cursor

Connect Nysa so Cursor’s agent can pull customer context, decisions and commitments into your work. You sign in with your own Nysa account, so Cursor sees only what you can already see.

Note

You need a Nysa account in a Company workspace.

Add Nysa as a remote MCP server in ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (one project).

OAuth

~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nysa": { "url": "https://mcp.usenysa.com/mcp" }
  }
}

Open Cursor Settings → MCP, find nysa, and sign in with the Google account you use for Nysa.

API key

Create an API key and store it as NYSA_API_KEY.

~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nysa": {
      "url": "https://mcp.usenysa.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:NYSA_API_KEY}" }
    }
  }
}

Start a new chat so Cursor loads the Nysa tools.

What Cursor can do

Area	What Cursor can do
Company brain	Search what your team knows from meetings, email and notes, brief you on a person or company, and add or correct facts.
Meetings	Find recent meetings, see who was in them, read summaries and transcripts you have access to, and list your commitments.
People, companies and projects	Browse the directory, read projects, and link meetings to a project.
Knowledge and skills	Read how your team works, and find or save playbooks for your agents.
Calendar	Read your own calendar events. If your workspace turns on calendar changes, schedule, move or cancel meetings you organize and turn recording on or off, only when you ask.
Your memory	Read and update your private notes for Cursor, like nicknames and priorities.

See every tool in the tools reference.

Import your existing brain

Already keep memory in GBrain, an Obsidian vault, or a folder of Markdown notes? Ask Cursor to import it. Cursor shows you a preview of the people, companies and notes it will add, and nothing changes until you say yes. Imported notes follow the same scopes as everything else, and you can undo the whole import in one step. Importing needs an agent with file access and a shell, like Claude Code or Codex.

Full guide: Import your existing brain.

Your access, nothing more

• Scoped to you: Cursor sees only what your Nysa account can see.
• Checked every call: leave the workspace and the next request is denied. Each call is audited.
• Writes only when you ask: Cursor updates Nysa only on request, and changes your calendar only if your workspace allows it. It can't send email.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
The Nysa tools don’t appear	Check Cursor Settings → MCP shows nysa as connected, then start a new chat.
401 invalid_token	Sign in again, or create a new API key if yours expired or was revoked.
“This API key is read-only”	The agent tried to write. Create a Read and write key.
Results say “unavailable”	You may no longer belong to the workspace, or the item was removed. Ask your workspace owner.
