How to Integrate BugMojo with Cursor

What this integration does

Cursor 0.45+ supports MCP. Point it at the BugMojo MCP server and Cursor's agent can pull bug context, link to session replays, and update bug status from the chat panel.

The integration is bidirectional where the underlying API supports it — updates flow both directions so neither tool becomes "stale state" relative to the other. For Cursor specifically, this means when working on a feature branch, ask cursor to fetch related open bugs — the agent reads them, links to replays, and proposes test cases.

Before you start

Make sure you have:

• A BugMojo account with admin access (Settings → Integrations is admin-only).
• A Cursor account with permission to read bugs.
• About 10 minutes of focused time — interruptions during OAuth flows tend to cause re-tries.

Step-by-step setup

Step 1: Generate a BugMojo API key

Settings → API Keys → Create key. Copy the bm_key_* token.

Step 2: Add the MCP server in Cursor

Cursor → Settings → MCP → Add server. Use the JSON config below. Cursor will install the server on first run.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bugmojo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@bugmojo/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "BUGMOJO_API_KEY": "bm_key_xxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Try it from the chat panel

Open the AI chat panel and ask: 'What bugs do I own that were filed this week?' Cursor will fetch them via the MCP server.

Workflows this enables

Beyond the "bug appears in Cursor" basic case, the integration enables several higher-value workflows that justify the setup effort. The most impactful is the first one below — it eliminates ~22 minutes per bug of context-switching according to a 2025 Atlassian study on engineering interrupt costs.

• When working on a feature branch, ask Cursor to fetch related open bugs — the agent reads them, links to replays, and proposes test cases.
• Cursor's autofix can propose code changes informed by the actual bug repro context.

Troubleshooting

"My Cursor token isn't being accepted." Double-check the token has not expired. Cursor tokens expire on different schedules depending on token type; regenerate and reconnect if in doubt.

"Bugs aren't appearing in Cursor."

1. Check Settings → Integrations → Cursor → Status to confirm the connection is healthy.
2. Verify the target channel is correct.
3. Check Settings → Integrations → Cursor → Logs for the most recent error.

"Two-way sync is one-way only." Two-way sync depends on the API capability of Cursor; some integration types (notifications, IDE) are one-way by design.

Privacy and security

For compliance-sensitive teams, the deep-link approach means bug metadata can live in your existing audit-logged Cursor system while sensitive capture data stays on BugMojo (self-hosted if needed).
