How to use BoldSign MCP Server in Cursor?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) extends LLM capabilities, enabling them to act as agents that connect to external systems. The BoldSign MCP server is designed to facilitate interaction between Large Language Models (LLMs) and the BoldSign API.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed and set up:

• BoldSign Account: You will need an account to obtain API credentials. You can sign up for a free trial or use an existing sandbox or paid account.
• BoldSign API Key: Generate an API key from the BoldSign web app. Refer to the BoldSign API documentation for instructions.

• Node.js: Version 18.0.0 or later.
• Cursor: Download and install the Cursor AI IDE from cursor.com.

Installation

This section assumes that you have already installed the Cursor application and signed in with your account.

• Open Cursor Settings located on the right side of the pane.

• Go to Tools and Integrations.

• Under the MCP Tools section, click on Add Custom MCP button.

• A Cursor mcp.json file will open. Add the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "boldsign": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@boldsign/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "BOLDSIGN_API_KEY": "YOUR_BOLDSIGN_API_KEY",
        "BOLDSIGN_API_REGION": "US"
      }
    }
  }
}

• Replace YOUR_BOLDSIGN_API_KEY with your actual BoldSign API key. The BOLDSIGN_API_REGION can be set to US EU, or CA depending on your account region.
• Alternatively, you can add the above configuration to your global Cursor MCP configuration file, typically found at ~/.cursor/mcp.json.
• Save and restart the Cursor to load the new MCP server.
• Now you can interact with BoldSign directly in Cursor’s chat panel.
