Use Known in Cursor

Connect Known to Cursor so its agent can read your company's wikis and record the decisions you make. This takes about 2 minutes.

Before you start

Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json (create it if it doesn't exist) and add Known:
```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "known": { "url": "https://api.known.info/mcp" }
  }
}
```
To add Known to one project only, use .cursor/mcp.json in that project instead.
Open Cursor Settings → Tools & Integrations. Known is listed under MCP; select Connect.
Known opens in your browser. Sign in, choose the organizations Cursor may use, confirm it's you, and select Allow.

In the agent, ask:

Which wikis can you see in Known?

It lists your organization's wikis.

Known shows an error in Cursor Settings. Select it to see the message, then Connect again.
Cursor can't see a wiki you expected. It can only use the organizations you selected. To change them, go to Settings → Connections in Known.
