2. Add Metorial to your MCP config
Use ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project, or .cursor/mcp.json for one.
{"mcpServers": {"metorial": {"url": "<your-magic-mcp-url>"}}}3. Sign in
Open Customize in the sidebar, find Metorial and sign in to load Sentry tools.
Give your team Sentry in Cursor
Once Sentry is enabled in Metorial, teammates sign in with SSO and get the same connection in Cursor, with only the tools their role allows.

Using Sentry tools in Cursor
What to expect once Sentry is connected.
- Cursor picks MCP tools automatically when they are relevant, including in Plan Mode. Name a Sentry tool to steer it.
- Cursor asks for approval before it uses an MCP tool by default. Click the arrow next to the tool name to check the arguments first.
- Switch the Metorial server off from Customize in the sidebar without removing it.
- Cursor shows each Sentry tool response in chat, with expandable views of the arguments and the result.
Troubleshooting Cursor
- Metorial connects but tools are missing or failing
- Open the Output panel (Cmd+Shift+U), choose MCP Logs, and look for authentication or connection errors.
- Your company blocks the server
- Enterprise admins approve remote servers in Team Settings, then MCP Configuration. Ask them to add a URL entry for your Metorial URL.
- Cursor asks before every tool call
- That is the default. Allowlist the Metorial tools you trust in your Run Mode settings to run them without a prompt.
Based on the Cursor MCP documentation.
