# 🔧 Connecting Your AI to Taskr

## 2.2 Setting Up Cursor

Cursor is our recommended IDE for beginners—everything in one place and easy to set up:

### Step 1: Install Cursor

1. Go to [cursor.com](https://cursor.com)
2. Download and install it
3. Open Cursor

### Step 2: Open Cursor Settings

1. Press `Cmd + Shift + J` (Mac) or `Ctrl + Shift + J` (Windows) to open Cursor Settings

### Step 3: Add Taskr MCP Server

1. Click **"Tools & MCP"** in the sidebar
2. Click **"New MCP Server"**
3. Copy and paste the configuration below into your `mcpServers` section, then save:

```json
{
  "taskr": {
    "url": "https://www.taskr.one/api/mcp"
  }
}
```

That's the whole thing—just a web address, no keys, no IDs. 🎉

### Step 4: Sign In

The first time Cursor connects to Taskr, **a browser window opens asking you to sign in and approve**. Sign in with your Taskr account and click approve. That's it—your sign-in is remembered, so you won't be asked again.

### Step 5: Verify Connection

1. Open MCP Settings again (`Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + J`)
2. Look for the **Taskr** server in your list
3. You should see a **green dot** next to it - this means it's connected! ✅
4. Click on "# tools enabled" to see all the Taskr tools available

If you see a **red dot**, click it (or reload the server) to trigger the browser sign-in again.
