How to add Unsplash 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 Unsplash (from the table above):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unsplash": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/unsplash/mcp"
    }
  }
}

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

Is it safe to connect Unsplash to Cursor?

Check the publisher and trust grade first. Unsplash 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.

Does Unsplash have an official MCP server?

Not that we can verify: it isn't in the official MCP Registry as of 2026-10-27, and we haven't found a server hosted by Unsplash itself. Full list: https://canmyaiuse.pages.dev/apps/unsplash/
