Cursor supports MCP servers natively. Once connected, Cursor’s AI panel gains access to Chiplab’s simulation tools and can call them automatically whenever your conversation involves firmware.

​
Prerequisites

  • Cursor installed and up to date.

​
Connect Chiplab

1

Open MCP settings in Cursor

In Cursor, open Settings → Tools & MCP → New MCP server. This opens the MCP server configuration panel where you can register external servers.
2

Add the Chiplab config

Paste the following JSON into ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
~/.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chiplab": {
      "url": "https://chiplab.veecle.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}
If mcp.json already contains other servers, add the "chiplab" entry inside the existing "mcpServers" object rather than creating a new file.
3

Connect and authenticate

Back in Settings → Tools & MCP, find the chiplab entry and click Connect. Cursor opens a browser window where you complete the OAuth sign-in. Once you approve access, the browser redirects back and Cursor marks the server as connected.
Reload Cursor after saving mcp.json so the Chiplab tools show up in the AI chat panel. You can do this with Developer: Reload Window from the command palette.
Want Chiplab to run automatically after every change? Add a line to your project’s .cursorrules file, such as: “After making firmware changes, test them on Chiplab before reporting back”

​
Revoking access

To disconnect Cursor from Chiplab, open the API Keys page in the dashboard, find the session under Connected agents, and click Revoke. The session is invalidated immediately.
