How to: Cursor Signal8 extraction-types
Add Signal8 to Cursor

}
}
}-
02
Save the file and restart Cursor.

extraction-types is surfaced wherever your client lets you attach context. It is context to attach, not an action to run.

If it does not appear, check that Signal8 is connected and that you are looking at its resources rather than its tools.
Use .cursor/mcp.json in a project root instead to scope it to that project. Cursor merges both. Cursor docs

SIGNAL8_API_KEY
Same resource, other clients
Read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling resources/list on 24 September 2026.
A listing does not declare its resources, so asking is the only way to know them, and this
is what the server actually offers rather than what its listing claims. Names only are
stored; connect the server for each resource's type and contents.
