# Nevent AI in Cursor, Cline, Continue and VS Code

All these clients use a JSON configuration format similar to Claude Desktop. The `mcpServers` block structure is identical — only the file location changes.

## Cursor

Cursor looks for MCP configuration in a JSON file inside the project folder or in the user's global configuration.

### Project-level configuration

Create or edit the `.cursor/mcp.json` file in your project root:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nevent": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-nevent/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "NEVENT_JWT_TOKEN": "your_nevent_jwt_token",
        "NEVENT_OPERATION_MODE": "STANDARD"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Global user configuration

To have Nevent AI available in all your Cursor projects, edit the global MCP configuration file. On macOS:

```
~/.cursor/mcp.json
```

The format is identical to the project configuration.

### With npx (without a local path)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nevent": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-nevent"],
      "env": {
        "NEVENT_JWT_TOKEN": "your_nevent_jwt_token"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Verify in Cursor

Open the command palette (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P) and search for **MCP: List servers** or check in Cursor's settings panel that the `nevent` server appears as active.

---

## Cline

Cline (VS Code extension) manages MCP servers from its sidebar configuration panel or from a JSON file.

### From the Cline interface

1. Open the Cline panel in VS Code
2. Click the settings icon (gear wheel)
3. Select **MCP Servers**
4. Click **Add Server**
5. Choose **Command** mode and fill in:
   - **Name:** `nevent`
   - **Command:** `node /absolute/path/to/mcp-nevent/dist/index.js`
   - **Environment variables:** `NEVENT_JWT_TOKEN=your_token`

### From the Cline configuration file

Cline stores its MCP configuration at:

```
~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json
```

Add the Nevent block:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nevent": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-nevent/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "NEVENT_JWT_TOKEN": "your_nevent_jwt_token",
        "NEVENT_OPERATION_MODE": "STANDARD"
      },
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}
```

---

## Continue

Continue (VS Code and JetBrains extension) configures MCP servers in its `config.json` file.

### File location

```
~/.continue/config.json
```

### Add Nevent AI

In the `mcpServers` section of the `config.json` file:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "nevent",
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-nevent/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "NEVENT_JWT_TOKEN": "your_nevent_jwt_token",
        "NEVENT_OPERATION_MODE": "STANDARD"
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

:::note[Note]
Continue uses an array for `mcpServers` (unlike Cursor and Cline which use an object). Make sure to use the correct format so you don't break the existing configuration.

## VS Code (official MCP extension)

If you use the official MCP extension for VS Code, the configuration is added in VS Code user settings (`settings.json`):

```json
{
  "mcp.servers": {
    "nevent": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-nevent/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "NEVENT_JWT_TOKEN": "your_nevent_jwt_token",
        "NEVENT_OPERATION_MODE": "STANDARD"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Open VS Code settings with Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P → **Open User Settings (JSON)** and add the block inside the root object.

---

## Using the hosted URL instead of stdio

All the clients above also accept remote MCP servers via HTTP. If the client supports it, you can use the Nevent hosted URL instead of the local command:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nevent": {
      "url": "https://mcp.nevent.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Check the documentation for your specific client to confirm whether it supports HTTP transport and what the correct key is (`url`, `serverUrl`, `endpoint`, etc.).
