# Cursor

<div className="article_labels_list" style={{display: 'none'}} dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: "Admin , Box MCP , P1"}} />

Cursor's setup process involves the following steps:

1. Admin enablement in Box
2. End-user connection

## Step 1: Configure Box integration

<Badge color="orange" size="lg">Admin</Badge>

1. Sign in to the [Box Admin Console](https://app.box.com/master).
2. Go to **Integrations** and find **Custom Box MCP Server** either by using the **MCP Category** filter, or by using the search bar at the top of the page.
3. Go to **Configuration** > **Add Integration Credentials** to generate new credentials.
4. In **Redirect URIs**, set the redirect URIs. See [here](https://cursor.com/docs/mcp#static-redirect-url) for Cursor's documentation on their redirect URIs.
5. Copy the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** for later use. These are required later for Cursor to authorize the connection.
6. Check the **[Access scopes](/en/box-admin-tools/how-to-guides-for-admins/understanding-requests-to-authorize-or-allow-applications#reviewing-scopes)**.
7. Click **Save**.

## Step 2: Configure end-user connection

<Badge color="green" size="lg">User</Badge>

1. Go to **Settings** > **Tools and MCPs** > **Add Custom MCP**. After that, the `mcp.json` opens automatically.
2. Paste the configuration below, add your **Client ID** and **Client Secret**, and save the file.

```json theme={null}
    {
        "mcpServers": {
            "box": {
                "url": "https://mcp.box.com",
                "auth": {
                    "CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id",
                    "CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret"
                }
            }
        }
    }
```

3. Return to **Tools and MCPs** in Cursor settings and click **Connect** to complete authorization.

Optionally, install our skills and rules with the Box Plugin for Cursor.

1. Go to **Settings** > **Plugins** > **Browse Marketplace** and search for **Box**.
2. Click **Add to Cursor**.
