Cursor Parallax Protocol explorer_address

How to: Cursor Parallax Protocol explorer_address

client:Cursor transport:streamable-http tool:explorer_address

Add Parallax Protocol to Cursor

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "parallax-mcp": {
      "url": "https://mcp.parallaxprotocol.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Cursor.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

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

Parallax Protocol will not start until these are set, so explorer_address never becomes available.

  • PARALLAX_MCP_RPC_URL
  • PARALLAX_MCP_GROUPS

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 13 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.
