Cursor ContextLayer set_context_routing

How to: Cursor ContextLayer set_context_routing

client:Cursor transport:streamable-http tool:set_context_routing

Add ContextLayer to Cursor

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "context-layer": {
      "url": "https://api.dotnova.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Cursor.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that ContextLayer'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 24 September 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.
