Cursor
MCP Server Setup Guide

Prerequisites

• Cursor — version 0.40+ for MCP support. Download at cursor.sh
• anonym.legal API key — Pro or Business plan (required for MCP access). Get one at anonym.legal
• No Node.js, no npm, no local install — anonym.legal's MCP server runs entirely over HTTP. There is nothing to download or run locally.

Installation

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anonym-legal": {
      "url": "https://anonym.legal/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Using Environment Variables (Recommended)

Keep your API key out of the config file using a .env file or Cursor's env expansion:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anonym-legal": {
      "url": "https://anonym.legal/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${ANONYM_LEGAL_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

ANONYM_LEGAL_API_KEY=your_actual_api_key_here

⚠ Important: Add .cursor/mcp.json to .gitignore if it contains your API key directly. Never commit secrets to version control.

Using with Cursor Agent

In Cursor's Agent mode (Cmd+I or the Agent panel), MCP tools are available automatically. You can use them directly in your conversation:

Before sending this to the API, use anonym_legal_anonymize_text to redact
all emails and replace all person names with [USER].

"Send a welcome email to Hans Mueller (hans@example.de) and CC
his manager Lisa Schneider (lisa@company.de)."

1. Read the file customer_data.json
2. Use anonym_legal_analyze_text to identify all PII fields
3. Use anonym_legal_anonymize_text with redact for emails, replace for names
4. Write the anonymized version to customer_data_anon.json
5. Show me a summary of what was removed
