Cursor TokenLab MCP Server compare_tokenlab_models
How to: Cursor TokenLab MCP Server compare_tokenlab_models
Add TokenLab MCP Server to Cursor
-
01
Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
{
"mcpServers": {
"tokenlab": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@tokenlabai/mcp-server"
],
"env": {
"TOKENLAB_API_BASE": "<TOKENLAB_API_BASE>",
"TOKENLAB_API_KEY": "<TOKENLAB_API_KEY>",
"TOKENLAB_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS": "<TOKENLAB_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS>",
"TOKENLAB_MCP_TOOL_PROFILE": "<TOKENLAB_MCP_TOOL_PROFILE>",
"TOKENLAB_MCP_SCHEMA_MODE": "<TOKENLAB_MCP_SCHEMA_MODE>",
"TOKENLAB_MCP_MAX_FILE_BYTES": "<TOKENLAB_MCP_MAX_FILE_BYTES>",
"TOKENLAB_MCP_INLINE_BYTES": "<TOKENLAB_MCP_INLINE_BYTES>",
"TOKENLAB_ARTIFACT_DIR": "<TOKENLAB_ARTIFACT_DIR>",
"TOKENLAB_MANAGEMENT_TOKEN": "<TOKENLAB_MANAGEMENT_TOKEN>"
}
}
}
}-
02
Save the file and restart Cursor.
-
03
Ask for something compare_tokenlab_models does. Cursor lists the server's tools on connect and calls compare_tokenlab_models itself — you do not invoke it by name.
-
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that TokenLab MCP Server'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
TokenLab MCP Server will not start until these are set, so compare_tokenlab_models never becomes available.

Same tool, other clients
This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 18 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.
