We'd encourage you to read through our Emporia MCP overview article to ensure your computer is ready to run this MCP program locally as well as ensuring you have the correct credentials available.
For most users who are familiar with Cursor, this walkthrough and setup guide should be fairly simple:
1.) First, open your Cursor IDE program.
2.) Once Cursor is loaded, navigate to your Cursor Settings - click on "Cursor" within your computers menu bar (upper left corner of your computer) to get to "Settings", and then click on "Cursor Settings". This should open a new tab (file) within Cursor with the available settings.
3.) On the left-hand side of the Settings window, click "MCP Tools".
If you already have MCP programs installed, you should see a list of them available here. If you do not have any existing MCP programs installed, you should see an "Add Custom MCP" button similar to below.
4.) You can copy/paste the below code in if you don't already have any MCP tools installed. If you already see a list of MCP tools here, simply add the "emporia-mcp" code within the existing list of tools.
Example Code:
{
"mcpServers":{
"emporia-mcp":{
"command":"npx",
"args":["@emporiaenergy/emporia-mcp"],
"env":{
"EMPORIA_ACCOUNT":"[email protected]",
"EMPORIA_PASWORD":"examplePassword1234"
}
}
}
}5.) Once you've saved this file, you should see the newly added MCP tool within your Cursor settings.
Now you're all setup and ready to chat with your Emporia data!
