Cursor

Connect Desktop Insights MCP server to Cursor for desktop app technology lookups.

Setup

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project (or global config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "desktopinsights": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "desktopinsights-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "DESKTOPINSIGHTS_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your API key from your dashboard.

Verify

In Cursor's chat, ask:

What SDKs does VS Code use?

Cursor should call the lookup_app tool and return VS Code's full technology stack.
