# Cursor MCP: Connect Your Verified Record · DT Terminal > Install DT Terminal in Cursor from a link, sign in, and let Cursor read your verified record and update your journal with the permissions you choose. # How to connect Cursor to DT Terminal with MCP By DT Terminal · Published 5 October 2026 Cursor installs DT Terminal from a link. In DT Terminal on the web, open Settings, MCP and press Add to Cursor. Your browser asks to open Cursor, and Cursor asks whether to install the dt-terminal server; confirm it. Cursor then lists dt-terminal in its MCP settings and asks you to sign in to it. Do that, and your browser opens DT Terminal's permission screen. Reading your profile, journal, backtests and connected accounts is ticked; writing is not until you tick it, and nothing can place a trade at your broker. Tick the box that says your data will leave DT Terminal and press Allow. In the DT Terminal desktop app the button copies https://dtterminal.app/api/mcp instead, and you add a new MCP server in Cursor's settings by hand. Settings, MCP lists every call Cursor makes, and Disconnect stops it at once. What the pictures show The screenshots are DT Terminal's own screens, from our demo account. The steps inside the other app are written in the words that app uses, and apps change their menus from time to time. Step by step One link from the web app, one sign in. The desktop app copies the URL for you to paste. ## 01Copy the connector URL Open DT Terminal, go to Settings and choose MCP. The connector URL sits at the top: https://dtterminal.app/api/mcp. On the web, Add to Cursor installs it for you. In the desktop app, the same button copies the URL. MCP needs a paid DT Terminal plan: Verified lets the app read your account, and Pro also lets it write to your journal. You need an account before you connect, because the app you connect signs in to it. - Settings, then MCP, then Copy next to the connector URL - Or press the button for your app and skip the copying Settings, MCP. One URL, and a button for each app. ## 02Install it in Cursor Press Add to Cursor. Your browser asks to open Cursor, and Cursor asks whether to install the dt-terminal server. Confirm it. From the DT Terminal desktop app, or if the link does not open Cursor, add it by hand: in Cursor's settings, add a new MCP server named dt-terminal with the connector URL. - Add to Cursor, then confirm the install - By hand: a new MCP server with the connector URL ## 03Sign in when Cursor asks Cursor lists dt-terminal in its MCP settings and asks you to sign in to it. Do that, and your browser opens DT Terminal's permission screen, naming Cursor and the account it will act as. DT Terminal does not check who runs an app, since anyone can register one and pick its name, so allow it only if you just added it in Cursor. - Sign in from Cursor's MCP settings - Allow it on DT Terminal's permission screen Customise opens the full list. Writes start unticked. ## 04Choose what Cursor can do Reading is ticked and writing is not. Press Customise to see all seven permissions: read your profile, read and change your journal, read and change your backtests, read and change your connected accounts. Tick a write only if you want Cursor to log trades, write reflections or start a sync for you. No permission can place a trade at your broker. Then tick the box that says your data will leave DT Terminal, and press Allow. - Reads are on, writes stay off until you tick them - Nothing you allow can place a trade - What Cursor reads is handled under its own terms from then on ## 05What to ask Cursor Ask about your trades the way you would ask Edge, the coach inside DT Terminal. Cursor reads the same journal, so its answers come from your own record rather than from trading in general. Cursor is at its best with the numbers: ask it to pull a month of trades and write a script that charts your R by setup, or turn your rules into a checklist file. - Run my weekly debrief - Find my leaks from the last 90 days - Review today against my plan ## 06See what it did, and disconnect Settings, MCP lists Cursor with when you connected it, when it was last used and what it may do. Under it, What your AI read lists the latest calls, newest first, and whether each one worked. Disconnect stops Cursor at once. Every token it held stops working, and it cannot read or change anything until you connect it again. What it already read stays with it. - Every call it made, newest first - Disconnect cuts it off straight away Connected apps and their recent calls, from the demo account. FAQ ### What is MCP? The Model Context Protocol is an open standard for connecting an AI app to a tool it can read and use. An app that speaks it can work with any product that publishes a connector, without a separate integration for each one. ### Which plan do I need? On DT Terminal, Verified to connect and read, and Pro to let Cursor write to your journal. Cursor's own plan decides how much you can use its agent. ### Can Cursor change my journal? Only on Pro, and only if you tick a write permission for it. On Verified it can read but not write, and reading is the default on Pro too. With journal write it can log trades, write notes and reflections, and edit or delete what it created. Every call it makes is listed in Settings, MCP. ### Can Cursor place trades at my broker? No. Broker connections are read only by design. The accounts write permission can start a sync and edit account details, and no permission opens order execution, whatever the app asks for. ### Add to Cursor did nothing. What do I do? The link needs Cursor installed on the same computer, and the DT Terminal desktop app copies the URL instead. Add the server by hand in Cursor's settings with https://dtterminal.app/api/mcp, then sign in when Cursor asks. ### How do I disconnect Cursor? Press Disconnect next to Cursor in Settings, MCP and its access stops at once. Then remove dt-terminal from Cursor's MCP settings so it stops asking. ### Which other apps can connect? Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code each have a button in Settings, MCP and a page like this one. Any other app that supports remote MCP servers with sign in can connect with the same URL. ## Bring the record, then bring Cursor. Start free and verify your record, then connect from Settings, MCP on Verified or Pro.
