## Setup (choose your method)

### Option 1: Install via Marketplace (Private Marketplace)

Install the **Opsera DevSecOps Agent** in Cursor via **Settings → Marketplace → Add Plugin**, then start using it through chat prompts.

It scans your codebase for security, compliance, SQL, and architecture issues, providing severity breakdowns, file-level findings, and actionable fixes.

[Learn more on the installation procedure here.](/marketplace/marketplace/cursor-plugin.md)

### Option 2: Manual Configuration

#### Step 1: Open MCP config

Locate your Cursor MCP configuration file:

**macOS/Linux:**

```

**Project-specific (optional):**

bash

```bash
.cursor/mcp.json
```

***

#### Step 2: Add Opsera configuration

Open the file and add:

json

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opsera": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://agent.opsera.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Save the file.

***

#### Step 3: Enable in Cursor

1. Open Cursor **Settings** (⌘/Ctrl + ,)
2. Navigate to **Cursor Settings** → **Tools and MCP**
3. **Enable** the Opsera MCP server
4. **Restart** Cursor

### Try it

Open Cursor's chat (⌘/Ctrl + L) and try:

**Run a security scan:**

```
"Scan this repository for security vulnerabilities and show critical issues"
```

**Analyze architecture:**

```
"Analyze the architecture of this codebase and generate a diagram"
```

**Generate Kubernetes manifests:**

```
"Create Kubernetes deployment manifests for this microservice"
```

### Troubleshooting

**MCP server not showing?**

* Check the config file saved correctly
* Restart Cursor completely
* Verify Node.js: `node --version`

**Green indicator not appearing?**

* Go to Settings → Cursor Settings → Tools and MCP
* Toggle MCP enable/disable
* Restart Cursor

**Agents not responding in chat?**

* Ensure internet connection
* Check MCP server is enabled (green indicator)
* Try closing and reopening the chat panel
