# Connecting Cursor IDE

> Give your Cursor AI Editor native access to your TaskGuru account using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

# Cursor Editor Integration (MCP)

Cursor supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) natively, allowing its AI Composer to directly read and manage your software development tasks stored in TaskGuru.

By connecting Cursor, your AI can automatically pull its next development ticket, read the discussion thread, write the code, and then mark the task as complete. TaskGuru functions perfectly as an AI bot task management layer.
