Connect explainx.ai to Cursor
Add explainx.ai to Cursor's MCP settings so agent mode can call it.
Cursor reads MCP servers from a project or global mcp.json file, and exposes each server's tools to agent mode once it's listed there. Adding explainx.ai lets Cursor's agent look up current model prices or check the agent/tool directory while it's working on your code.
Add the explainx.ai MCP server to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (create the file if it doesn't exist) with an "explainx" entry pointing at https://mcp.explainx.ai/mcp, save it, then tell me to reload Cursor so I can finish the explainx.ai sign-in in my browser.
Setup steps
- 01Open Cursor Settings → MCP, or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json directly.
- 02Add an explainx entry pointing at the explainx.ai MCP URL.
- 03Save and reload — Cursor opens a browser tab to complete explainx.ai sign-in.
- 04Enable the explainx tools in agent mode when prompted.

}Frequently asked
Project-level or global mcp.json for explainx.ai in Cursor?
Use ~/.cursor/mcp.json for a global connection available in every project, or a project-local .cursor/mcp.json if you only want explainx.ai available in that repo.
