Step 3: Open the MCP Configuration

Step 4: Add Grigora MCP

Inside mcp.json, add the following Grigora MCP configuration:

{

"Grigora": {
"url": "https://mcp.grigora.co/mcp"

}

The url points Cursor to Grigora's remote MCP server.

Troubleshooting

If Grigora MCP does not appear as connected after completing the authentication process, try the following:

  • Reload Cursor: Refresh the Cursor window after completing the authorization process to allow the updated MCP connection status to load.

  • Restart Cursor: If reloading does not resolve the issue, completely close Cursor and open it again.

  • Check the MCP Status: Go to Customize → MCPs and confirm that Grigora appears under Connected.

  • Re-authenticate: If Grigora still appears under Needs Attention, click Authenticate again and complete the authorization process.

  • Verify the MCP URL: Make sure the configured server URL is https://mcp.grigora.co/mcp.

  • Check Your Grigora Access: Ensure you have access to the Grigora project or site you selected during authorization.
