Overview

Cursor is an AI-enabled code editor use MCP to connect to the Platform MCP Server. Once connected, the MCP client can use MCP tools to access and interact with Intelligent Risk Platform documentation, developer resources, and tenant data.

Set Environment Variables

Cursor has no secure key prompt, so these instructions reference an environment variable (IRP_API_KEY) instead of writing your key into a configuration file.

The execution-tool requires that the client authenticate with an API key. The API key enables the platform to authenticate the client and authorize requests to access API resources and perform operations based on group-based permissions granted the key.

To set environmental variable:

• In MacOS/Linux, add export IRP_API_KEY="<API_KEY>" to the dotfile (e.g. bash_profile, .bashrc, .zshrc) that you use to configure the shell environment.
• In Windows, Select Settings > System > About > Advanced System Settings > Environment Variables, and add the IRP_API_KEY to User Variables.

Configure Connection

Connections to MCP Platform Server can be configured by two methods.

Configure with One-Click Installation

To add with one-click installation, click the Add to Cursor button that matches your Intelligent Risk Platform region:

Region	Install
US
EU

Configure with Manually

To configure connection manually:

Add the following snippet to the .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "irp-integration-mcp": {
      "url": "https://api-use1.rms.com/platform/integration/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "${env:IRP_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

If you cannot use environment variables, replace ${env:IRP_API_KEY} with your key in ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Because the API key is then stored in plain text, ensure that you keep the file private, and never commit a project-level .cursor/mcp.json that contains an API key to source control.

Validate Integration

To validate the configuration, open Cursor Settings > MCP.

• If configured correctly, the irp-integration-mcp option displays a green dot in the tool list.
• A red dot with 401 usually means the environment variable is not visible to Cursor. .
