How to add Plaid to Cursor

Open Cursor Settings → MCP and add a new server, or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project).
Paste the remote URL, or the install config from the server page for a local server.
Sign in if the server asks, then use it in Agent chat.

Example for Fincontext (from the table above):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "plaid": {
      "url": "https://fincontext.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Menus change, so check Cursor's MCP docs. Every server page has a copy-paste config for Cursor.

Is it safe to connect Plaid to Cursor?

Check the publisher and trust grade first. Plaid doesn't run an official MCP server we can verify, so every server here comes from a third party and can see whatever your account can.
