Configuration

    "fleet": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["fleet-mcp", "run"],

        "FLEET_ALLOW_SELECT_QUERIES": "true"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: Replace uvx with fleet-mcp if you've installed the package globally. For enhanced security, use --config flag to reference a TOML file instead of embedding tokens (see Security Best Practices).

Go to: Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP → Add new global MCP server

Install globally in ~/.cursor/mcp.json or per-project in .cursor/mcp.json. See Cursor MCP docs for more info.

      "args": ["fleet-mcp", "run"],
      "env": {

        "FLEET_ALLOW_SELECT_QUERIES": "true"
      }
    }
  }
}
