Cursor

Set Cursor up with one line in your terminal: it installs the CLI, teaches Cursor's agent Basemodo and signs you in.

Set up

In your terminal, on macOS and Linux:

curl -fsSL https://basemodo.com/install | sh

On Windows, in PowerShell:

irm https://basemodo.com/install.ps1 | iex

It installs the basemodo command, then runs basemodo setup: it asks whether your agents should know Basemodo in every project (press Enter) or only in the folder your terminal is in, finds the agents on your computer and writes Basemodo's Skills where each reads them, then opens your browser to sign you in. Running the line again updates the CLI and the Skills.

Cursor reads the Skills from ~/.agents/skills, or from the project's .agents/skills when you chose this project only. Open a new chat in Cursor and ask it, for example: "Deploy this folder to Basemodo and give me the link." It runs the CLI and deploys the folder it works in, with no GitHub repository needed.

Other ways

Use one way in Cursor: the install line above, or one of these. Each gives it every command of Basemodo (the Plugin through the Remote MCP), so with two it sees every command twice (one way per client).

The Plugin

Basemodo's Skills and its Remote MCP in one install, without the CLI, from basemodocom/agent. It is not in Cursor's Marketplace yet: an admin of a Cursor team imports it from that repository (Import from Repo), and each member then installs it under Customize. Then sign in to its Remote MCP, as below.

The Remote MCP

Add Basemodo to Cursor: Cursor opens and asks you to install it.

Or add it yourself, to ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project, or to .cursor/mcp.json in one project:

{"mcpServers": {"basemodo": {"url": "https://mcp.basemodo.com"}}}

Then sign in: when Cursor connects, it registers itself with Basemodo and opens your browser on basemodo.com, which asks you to approve Cursor. Approve it, and Cursor acts as you through its Agent Grant. Basemodo is listed with your other MCP servers under Customize in Cursor's sidebar, where you turn it on or off. Its deploy takes a GitHub repository, not a folder.

The local MCP

The same tools on your computer, basemodo mcp. With basemodo installed (curl -fsSL https://basemodo.com/install | sh on macOS and Linux, irm https://basemodo.com/install.ps1 | iex in Windows' PowerShell) and signed in with basemodo login: add the local MCP to Cursor, or put this in mcp.json:

{"mcpServers": {"basemodo": {"command": "basemodo", "args": ["mcp"]}}}

What it needs

Any Cursor plan. On a team, admins can limit the MCP servers members may run with an allowlist: ask one to allow https://mcp.basemodo.com.
