Cursor tracetify mcp research_backlinks

How to: Cursor tracetify mcp research_backlinks

client:Cursor transport:streamable-http tool:research_backlinks

Add tracetify mcp to Cursor

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tracetify-mcp": {
      "url": "https://tracetify.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Cursor.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

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

tracetify mcp will not start until these are set, so research_backlinks never becomes available.

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.
