Integrations

Cursor integration

Install GNO as an MCP server in Cursor for hybrid retrieval while you code.

Cursor supports MCP servers natively. One-command install gives Cursor access to GNO’s 19 retrieval tools — search, query, ask, graph, backlinks, similar, and more.

Quickstart

bun install -g @gmickel/gno
gno init ~/notes --name notes && gno index
gno mcp install --target cursor

After install, restart Cursor. The GNO MCP server will appear in the MCP settings panel automatically.

Using it in Cursor

Cursor’s composer and chat can both invoke GNO tools. Just ask in plain language:

“Search my notes for the retry logic we discussed”

“Find related notes to this file and summarize them”

Cursor picks the appropriate GNO tool and cites the source docs in its response.

Project scope

For project-specific MCP configuration, install at the project scope. This writes a .cursor/mcp.json in the current project.

gno mcp install --target cursor --scope project

Manual configuration

If auto-install fails, add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gno": {
      "command": "gno",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}
