Connect Erudio MCP to Cursor

Before you start

Who can set it up

Any Cursor plan. Team admins can also add servers for everyone in Dashboard > Plugins & MCPs.

Free

Find and order reports

Search reports, preview them, order, and read the free report. No key, account or sign-in.

Add the free server

Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (every project) or .cursor/mcp.json (one project).

~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "erudio-free": { "url": "https://mcp.erudio.com/free" }
  }
}

Licensed

Read the reports you bought

A license key starts erudio_ and comes with a purchase: get_order returns it once an order is paid, and the buyer gets their account key by email. Lost keys are sent again from erudio.com/keys.

With a license key

Set ERUDIO_KEY to your license key in your environment.

~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "erudio": {
      "url": "https://mcp.erudio.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:ERUDIO_KEY}" }
    }
  }
}

Or sign in

Leave out headers: with only the url https://mcp.erudio.com/mcp, Cursor finds Erudio's sign-in, registers itself and opens your browser.

FAQ

Questions

Can I sign in with a Microsoft account?

Erudio's sign-in page uses Google accounts, with the email you bought with or the one your organization registered. If your work email is not a Google account, use your license key instead.
