Connect VS Code and Cursor to SNG MCP

The SNG panel generates configuration for your editor and operating system. Choose VS Code or Cursor, then Windows, macOS, or Linux; the file format and path update automatically, so you do not write the setup from scratch.

1. 1
   Step 1

   Choose your IDE and platform

   Open Settings → API & MCP in SNG. Select VS Code or Cursor, then Windows, macOS, or Linux. The panel displays the correct path and generated connection automatically.

2. 2
   Step 2

   Create a token for this device

   Create an API token with a clear name such as Office-VSCode, a suitable expiry, and only the required scopes. Start read-only and add more scopes later.

   Note

   Use a different token per device so one device can be revoked safely.

3. 3
   Step 3

   Copy the generated setup

   Press Copy next to the generated setup, create the file at the displayed path, and paste it. VS Code uses a project file while Cursor uses a user-level file.

4. 4
   Step 4

   Add the token without publishing it

   VS Code prompts for the secret when connecting. In Cursor, replace YOUR_SNG_PERSONAL_TOKEN only in a local untracked file and keep it out of Git.

   Note

   For shared projects, never place the token in a file available to teammates or CI logs.

   Step 5

   Restart the IDE and test

   Restart the editor or reload its window, open MCP tools, and confirm SNG is connected. Start with: “Only list my services.”
