The fastest way to get started is to connect to Shortcut's hosted MCP server. No API token or local setup required — authentication is handled via OAuth.

1. Open (or create) the mcp.json file (it should be in ~/.cursor/mcp.json or <project-root>/.cursor/mcp.json, but see Cursor docs for more details).
2. Add the following details and save the file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shortcut": {
      "url": "https://mcp.shortcut.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

1. Restart Cursor. You will be prompted to authorize with your Shortcut account on first use.

If all you need need the configuration for the mcp.json file use this. You will be prompted to authorize with your Shortcut account on first use.

{
  "servers": {
    "shortcut-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.shortcut.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
