Connect Directus to Cursor

Expose selected local integrations to Cursor through KosmoKrator without configuring each service as its own MCP server.

Create or update .cursor/mcp.json with a KosmoKrator stdio server entry. The gateway is local, scoped to this integration, and starts with --write=deny so Cursor can inspect read-capable tools without receiving write access by default.

Directus MCP Config for Cursor

Use the same KosmoKrator install and integration credentials that power terminal and headless runs.
