Connect Cursor

Cursor connects with an access token that it reads from an environment variable, so the token never sits in a config file.

Steps

1. In Reliquary, open Tokens and create a token:

   • name it after the agent and machine, like Cursor on my laptop;
   • choose its vaults and Read only or Read and write;
   • choose when it expires (90 days is the default).

2. Copy the token. It is shown once.

3. Set it as RELIQUARY_TOKEN in the environment Cursor starts from, for example in your shell profile, then start Cursor from a new shell. Paste it in your own terminal, never in a chat:

   export RELIQUARY_TOKEN='paste-the-token-here'
   

4. Add Reliquary with the add Reliquary to Cursor link on your Connect page, or put this in ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "reliquary": {
         "url": "https://mcp.reliquary.redmage.cc/mcp",
         "headers": {
           "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:RELIQUARY_TOKEN}"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

5. In Cursor's MCP settings, check that reliquary is enabled and lists its tools.

Keep the token safe

• Never paste it into a chat or a file an agent can read. Anything an agent can read, it can leak.
• If it leaks, revoke it: see Rotate a leaked token.
• It expires on the date you chose; make a new one then.
