How to: Cursor IndexNow Submit indexnow_submit

client:Cursor transport:streamable-http tool:indexnow_submit

Add IndexNow Submit to Cursor

  1. 01

    Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "indexnow": {
      "url": "https://indexnow.openkrill.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Cursor.

  2. 03

    Ask for something indexnow_submit does. Cursor lists the server's tools on connect and calls indexnow_submit itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that IndexNow Submit's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Use .cursor/mcp.json in a project root instead to scope it to that project. Cursor merges both. Cursor docs

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 16 October 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
