Hubstaff MCP Integration for Cursor
Connect Hubstaff to Cursor through the local KosmoKrator MCP gateway with scoped tools, credentials, and write policy.
Connect Hubstaff 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.
Hubstaff MCP Config for Cursor
Use the same KosmoKrator install and integration credentials that power terminal and headless runs.

Expose only Hubstaff instead of a broad multi-service tool list.
Reuse credentials already configured for the KosmoKrator CLI and Lua runtime.
