Set Up NOAH MCP in Cursor

Overview​

Adding NOAH MCP to Cursor (The AI Code Editor) gives you AI-driven tools directly inside your code editor, so that you can use Cursor's AI to understand, query, and interact with NOAH, while you're working through NOAH's developer journeys, using a standard protocol called the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

1. Set Up NOAH MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites​

As a prerequisite, you need a Business API key obtained from the NOAH Business Dashboard. Support is provided for both Production and Sandbox environments.

warning

Make sure that your Node version is 20.18.1 or later. Lower versions are not supported by the Noah MCP Cursor integration described below. When troubleshooting, start by checking your Node version.

  • If not installed, download and install Cursor, start it up, and go to Settings | Cursor Settings, click Tools & Integrations, and then click New MCP Server.
  • Copy and paste the content below to define the NOAH MCP Server:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "noah": {
      "command": "npx", // or bunx
      "args": ["@noah-labs/noah-business-api-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "NOAH_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here",
      }
    }
  }
}

  • Note the following settings for the above:

    • Required:
      • NOAH_API_KEY: API key created in the dashboard.
    • Optional:
      • NOAH_ENVIRONMENT: Possible values: sandbox, production (default: sandbox).
      • NOAH_API_BASE_URL: Base path of the API, e.g., https://api.sandbox.noah.com/v1.
