Skyvern's MCP server implementation creates a bridge between AI applications and web browsers, enabling your AI apps to interact with websites. This allows for capabilities like form completion, file downloads, web research, and various other browser-based tasks without requiring human intervention.
Skyvern requires Python 3.11 to run properly. To get started:
pip install skyvern
skyvern init
skyvern run server
You can connect your MCP-enabled applications to Skyvern in two ways:
Use this option to power Skyvern with your preferred LLM locally. During the skyvern init
process, you'll be guided through setting up a local server.
For cloud-based usage:
skyvern init
process when promptedSkyvern works with several MCP-enabled applications, including:
For applications not directly supported by the init wizard, you can use the following configuration template:
{
"mcpServers": {
"Skyvern": {
"env": {
"SKYVERN_BASE_URL": "https://api.skyvern.com",
"SKYVERN_API_KEY": "YOUR_SKYVERN_API_KEY"
},
"command": "PATH_TO_PYTHON",
"args": [
"-m",
"skyvern",
"run",
"mcp"
]
}
}
}

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json
file so that it is available in all of your projects.
If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json
file.
To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > MCP and click "Add new global MCP server".
When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json
file will be opened and you can add your server like this:
{
"mcpServers": {
"cursor-rules-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"cursor-rules-mcp"
]
}
}
}
To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json
file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.
Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.
The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.
You can also explictly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
