Cursor Lancelot lancedb_search

How to: Cursor Lancelot lancedb_search

client:Cursor transport:streamable-http tool:lancedb_search

Add Lancelot to Cursor

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lancelot": {
      "url": "https://mcp.ayers.repair/lancelot"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Cursor.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Lancelot'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

Set these first

Lancelot will not start until these are set, so lancedb_search never becomes available.

  • LANCEDB_PATH
  • OPENAI_API_KEY

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 11 November 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.
