Open KnowledgeOpen Knowledge

Cursor

Use Open Knowledge with Cursor.

Open Knowledge plugs into Cursor through MCP plus an installed skill that teaches the agent how to use the tools.

Install

In your project:

npx @inkeep/open-knowledge init

This registers the MCP server in Cursor's user config (~/.cursor/mcp.json) and project config (.cursor/mcp.json), and installs a skill at .cursor/skills/open-knowledge/SKILL.md.

Approve the server

Cursor prompts you to approve a new MCP server when you next open the project. Approve open-knowledge — until you do, the agent can't see the tools.

Verify

Ask the agent:

List all the docs in this project.

The agent should call list_documents and respond with your knowledge base. If it still doesn't see the tool after approval, restart Cursor so it picks up the new MCP entry.
