install Help Scout MCP Server on Cursor

Requires the runtime declared in the upstream repo — check the README before running. Cursor reloads its MCP servers automatically the moment the file is saved — no restart needed. Paste the config below, then follow the reload step to register Help Scout MCP Server.

paste into
global: ~/.cursor/mcp.json
project: .cursor/mcp.json (commit alongside your repo)
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "helpscout": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "help-scout-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "HELPSCOUT_APP_ID": "your-app-id",
        "HELPSCOUT_APP_SECRET": "your-app-secret"
      }
    }
  }
}
then: No restart needed — Cursor picks up the change automatically.
