Cursor

Prerequisites: Install pflow before continuing.

Cursor supports both CLI access and MCP servers. The easiest way to get started is with one-click install.

One-click install

Click the button below to add pflow to Cursor:

This adds pflow as an MCP server to your global Cursor config (~/.cursor/mcp.json).

Manual setup

If you prefer to set up manually, you have two options:

MCP server
CLI access

Add pflow to your config

Global config (all projects): ~/.cursor/mcp.jsonProject config (single project): .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pflow": {
      "command": "pflow",
      "args": ["mcp", "serve"]
    }
  }
}

You can also add via Cursor settings: File → Preferences → Cursor Settings → MCP.

Verify installation

Open Cursor settings (File → Preferences → Cursor Settings → MCP) and check that pflow appears in the list of configured servers.Or ask Cursor to list pflow workflows:

Use pflow to list available workflows

Since Cursor has terminal access, you can also use pflow via CLI. Add to your project’s instructions or tell Cursor:

Use pflow for workflow automation. Run `pflow guide` to learn the commands.

Troubleshooting

One-click install didn't work

The deeplink requires Cursor to be installed and registered as a protocol handler. Try manual setup instead.

Cursor doesn't see pflow tools

Make sure pflow is installed and in your PATH: pflow --version
Check your MCP config JSON syntax is valid
Restart Cursor

Publishing workflows as skills

You can publish saved workflows as Cursor skills:

pflow skill save my-workflow --cursor

This creates a symlink in .cursor/skills/my-workflow/SKILL.md pointing to your workflow. For personal skills available across all projects:

pflow skill save my-workflow --cursor --personal

See pflow skill for full documentation.
