Connecting PF Create to Cursor

Difficulty: Easy — add a JSON config file.
Requires: Cursor v0.42+

Before You Start

• Your pfk_… API key — find it on your account page

Project-Level Config (recommended)

Create .cursor/mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pfcreate": {
      "url": "https://mcp.pfcreate.ca/sse",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer pfk_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Global Config (all projects)

Create or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the same content.

Activate

1. Replace pfk_YOUR_KEY_HERE with your API key.
2. Open Cursor Settings → MCP — the server should appear with a green indicator.
3. If it doesn’t appear, restart Cursor.

Security Note

Do not commit .cursor/mcp.json to version control if it contains your API key. Add it to .gitignore, or use an environment variable:

"Authorization": "Bearer ${env:PFCREATE_API_KEY}"

Troubleshooting

Server shows red / disconnected — Verify the JSON is valid and restart Cursor.

401 errors — Check the full key including the pfk_ prefix is present.
