Setup

Add Sequel to Cursor

One config block is all it takes. Replace sql_your_api_key with a key from Settings → API Keys, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sequel": {
      "url": "https://api.sequel.sh/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sql_your_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Frequently asked questions

Does this work with Cursor Agent and Cursor Chat?

Yes. Once the MCP config is in your .cursor/mcp.json, Sequel tools are available in both Cursor Chat and Cursor Agent. The agent can call multiple tools in sequence to answer complex questions.

Should I use a project-level or global MCP config?

Use a project-level .cursor/mcp.json for team repos so all collaborators share the same MCP setup. For personal access, add the config globally at ~/.cursor/mcp.json instead.

Can Cursor modify my database through Sequel?

Sequel's query tools are read-only by default. The workbench tool can run Python code, which could write to files, but it runs in an isolated sandbox without direct database write access.

How do I share the Sequel MCP config with my team?

Commit .cursor/mcp.json to your repo. Each team member needs their own Sequel API key — replace the value of the Authorization header with their personal key from Settings → API Keys.
