Cursor

Cursor

Connect Block Scholes to Cursor for AI-powered crypto derivatives analysis directly within your development environment. Cursor's Agent mode allows you to query data, run backtests, and generate visualisations using natural language.

Cursor Pro (or higher) is required for reliable use of Agent features and MCP tool-calling.

Step 1: Sign up for a Block Scholes account

Sign up for an account with Block Scholes at Block Scholes Console.

Step 2: Install Cursor

Download and install Cursor from cursor.com/download. Launch the application and sign in or create an account.

Step 3: Open a Project

1. Click Open project

2. Create or open a folder (e.g. Block Scholes MCP)

A dedicated project folder keeps your queries, outputs, and any generated files organised.

Step 4: Add the MCP Server

The quickest way to add Block Scholes is via the Cursor deep link — click the badge below to install directly:

This will add the Block Scholes MCP server to your Cursor configuration automatically.

Manual Setup

If you prefer to configure manually:

1. Click the settings cog in the top-right corner

2. Navigate to Cursor Settings

3. Select Tools & MCP from the left-hand menu

4. Add a new MCP server with the following JSON configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Block Scholes": {
      "url": "https://mcp.blockscholes.com/mcp",
      "headers": {}
    }
  }
}

1. Save the file and return to the Cursor Settings tab

You should see Block Scholes listed under Installed MCP Servers.

Step 5: Authenticate

Click Connect next to the Block Scholes server entry. A login window will appear — sign in with your Block Scholes account.

Step 6: Start an Agent Chat

1. Click the Toggle AI Pane button (next to the settings cog) to open the chat interface

2. Select Agent mode

3. Choose Opus 4.5 and above as the model for best results. Similarly, Cursor's Composer 2 is good for general use and does not consume as many tokens from your plan.

Use Opus 4.5 or above, or Composer 1.5 or above, only with our MCP Server.

Step 7: Create the Block Scholes skill (Optional)

To keep outputs focused and consistent, create the shared Block Scholes Skill.

That page includes the exact skill content and the Cursor-specific /create-skill flow.

Verify the Connection

Test with a simple query in Agent mode:

What is the current BTC 30-day implied volatility at the 25-delta level?

If the agent calls the Block Scholes data_retrieval tool and returns a result, the connection is working.
