# Cursor Setup

Add a True Markets MCP server to Cursor from its settings or from `.cursor/mcp.json`.

The server you need depends on whether you trade. The Market Data server is read-only and needs no account. The Trading server includes every Market Data tool plus login, quotes and trade execution, so if you want both, add only the Trading server.

## Market Data only

Prices, trending assets and AI-generated analysis, read-only. No account needed.

### Add it in Cursor Settings

1.  Open **Cursor Settings** (Cmd+Shift+J on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+J on Windows/Linux).
2.  Select **MCP** in the sidebar.
3.  Click **Add new MCP server**.
4.  Select **HTTP** and enter: `https://mcp.truemarkets.co/marketdata/mcp`

### Add it to the config file

Add this to `.cursor/mcp.json`.

.cursor/mcp.json: the market data server entry

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "truemarkets-marketdata": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.truemarkets.co/marketdata/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

## Trading

Everything in Market Data, plus login, quotes and trade execution. You need a True Markets account; create one at [app.truemarkets.co](https://app.truemarkets.co/).

### Add it in Cursor Settings

1.  Open **Cursor Settings** (Cmd+Shift+J on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+J on Windows/Linux).
2.  Select **MCP** in the sidebar.
3.  Click **Add new MCP server**.
4.  Select **HTTP** and enter: `https://mcp.truemarkets.co/mcp`

### Add it to the config file

Add this to `.cursor/mcp.json`.

.cursor/mcp.json: the trading server entry

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "truemarkets-trading": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.truemarkets.co/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

## Verify it works

Open the Cursor chat and ask:

> "What tokens are trending by volume? Show me the top 5."

Cursor calls the `get_trending_assets` tool and returns assets ranked by trading volume.
