  1. Add the configuration needed. The MCP server entry for Cursor:
    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "datagalaxy-<name of your mcp server>": {
      "type": "streamable_http",
      "url": "<your mcp server url>",
      "auth": null,
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <your PAT>",
        "X-API-Base-URL": "<your API>",
        "X-Version-ID": "<version ID>",
        "X-Source-Request": "cursor-client",
        "Accept": "application/json, text/event-stream"
      }
    }
  }
}

    where:

    • <name of your mcp server> — the name you give your server. This name will be visible in your list of MCP Servers in Cursor.
    • <your mcp server url> — https://<your instance name>.api.datagalaxy.com/mcp/. To verify your MCP Server URL, visit the DataGalaxy webapp → Profile → DataGalaxy MCP Server and copy the provided URL.
    • <your PAT> — your Personal Access Token. Found under Profile → Profile and Settings → Profile → Security. Don't forget the word "Bearer" before it.
    • <your API> — URL in the format https://<instance>.api.datagalaxy.com/v2/.
    • <version ID> — the second UUID in your DataGalaxy URLs.
  1. Save your changes (e.g. Ctrl+S or Cmd+S).
  1. Ensure that your DataGalaxy MCP server is activated.
