Cursor

Cursor reads MCP servers from mcp.json in your home folder.

The easy way: open MCP for Tally, go to Connect AI apps and click Add beside Cursor. The app writes the settings below for you, keeps a backup of the file, and never touches your other entries.

By hand

Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcpfortally": {
      "command": "C:\\Users\\<you>\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\MCP for Tally\\runtime\\node.exe",
      "args": ["C:\\Users\\<you>\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\MCP for Tally\\app\\mcpfortally.js", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Mac: ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcpfortally": {
      "command": "/Applications/MCP for Tally.app/Contents/MacOS/mcpfortally",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Or use the local address while the MCP for Tally window is open. The token is in the app under Settings.

Local address

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcpfortally": {
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1:45917/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <token from the app>" }
    }
  }
}

Open Cursor's settings, then MCP, and check that mcpfortally shows a green dot.
