Installation
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18.0.0 or higher
- Cursor IDE with MCP support
- TursoDB account
Step 1: Set up TursoDB Database
- Sign up for [Turso](https://turso.tech/) and create an account
- Install Turso CLI (optional but recommended):
``bash curl -sSfL https://get.turso.tech/install.sh | bash ``
- Authenticate with Turso:
``bash turso auth login ``
- Create a project database:
``bash turso db create devcontext ``
- Get database credentials and save both URL and token
Step 2: Configure MCP in Cursor
Create or edit .cursor/mcp.json in your project directory:
{
"mcpServers": {
"devcontext": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "devcontext@latest"],
"enabled": true,
"env": {
"TURSO_DATABASE_URL": "your-turso-database-url",
"TURSO_AUTH_TOKEN": "your-turso-auth-token"
}
}
}
