MCP

Install: Cursor

Add the Jobby.dev MCP server to Cursor's settings — config snippet and a screenshot of the right panel.

Last updated

Add Jobby.dev to Cursor via the MCP integration in Settings → Features → Model Context Protocol.

1. Mint a token

At /account/api-tokens, mint a token with the scopes you want Cursor's agent to have. Recommended starter set is the same as Claude Desktop: profile:read, queue:*, matches:read.

2. Open Cursor settings

Cursor → Settings → Features → Model Context Protocol → Add new server.

3. Configure

Two transport options:

Option A — stdio (local subprocess)

Name:    Jobby.dev
Type:    stdio
Command: npx
Args:    -y @jobbydev/mcp
Env:     JOBBYDEV_API_TOKEN=jbb_...

Cursor spawns the MCP binary as a subprocess and talks JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdio. Requires Node.js 20+ on your system.

Option B — HTTP (hosted endpoint)

Name:    Jobby.dev
Type:    http
URL:     https://jobby.dev/api/mcp
Headers: Authorization: Bearer jbb_...

No local install required. Slightly higher latency than stdio because every call hits the network.

4. Save and restart

Save. Cursor reloads the tool catalog automatically — the jobbydev_* tools should appear under Composer > @ within seconds.

5. Test

In Composer, type @jobbydev_live_now; Cursor surfaces the tool. Pick it; Cursor calls it; you should see live events.

Limits

Cursor doesn't natively render rich widgets (no embedded video / Stripe iframe). Tool results render as text / JSON; for the live interview itself, click through to jobby.dev/account/matches/<id> in your browser.
