Cursor Steel Brain cert_guide

How to: Cursor Steel Brain cert_guide

client:Cursor transport:streamable-http tool:cert_guide

Add Steel Brain to Cursor

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "steel-brain": {
      "url": "https://api.steelbrain.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Cursor.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Steel Brain'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 25 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.
