# Cursor

Cursor can read your fivebar stats over MCP, and answer questions about them.

Ask it about your sites in your own words, such as why traffic jumped on Tuesday, and it answers from your figures, following fivebar’s rules about what they mean. Working in your site’s code, it can also [add fivebar to it](https://fiveb.ar/docs/coding-assistants.md) and check it’s working. Connecting is adding fivebar’s address, signing in and choosing Allow, with no key to copy.

## Add fivebar

To add fivebar from a link, open [Add fivebar to Cursor](cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=fivebar&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2ZpdmViLmFyL2FwaS9tY3AifQ%3D%3D).

Or add it yourself, to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` for every project, or `.cursor/mcp.json` for one:

```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fivebar": {
      "url": "https://fiveb.ar/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

## Sign in

Open **Customize**, then **MCPs**, where fivebar is listed, and sign in from there. With Cursor’s command line agent, run `agent mcp login fivebar`.

fivebar opens in your browser. Sign in if you need to, check that the page names Cursor, and choose Allow. Cursor can then [read the stats](https://fiveb.ar/docs/mcp.md#what-an-app-can-read) of every site on your Sites page, and changes nothing of yours unless you also tick the box to let it [change settings](https://fiveb.ar/docs/mcp.md#changing-settings).

## Try it

Ask Cursor about your sites in your own words, such as:

- Which pages did best last week, and where did their visitors come from?
- How does this month compare with last month so far?
- How many people are on my site right now?

## Removing it

Switch fivebar off under **Customize**, **MCPs**, or delete it from `mcp.json`.

To stop Cursor reading your stats from fivebar’s side, disconnect it in [Settings](https://fiveb.ar/settings).

## Good to know

Some recent versions of Cursor have been reported to register with a server and then not open the browser to sign in. If that happens, look for an update to Cursor.
