In 2026, Cursor expanded this to include MCP Apps, which provide interactive interfaces directly in your chat.

‍

1. Open the Cursor application on your computer.
2. On your keyboard, press Cmd + L on a Mac or Ctrl + L on Windows/Linux.
3. In the Chat or Composer window, type the @ symbol.
4. Select MCP Servers from the dropdown list.
5. This explicitly tells the AI: "Use the tools inside this server to help me with this specific prompt."
