Direct answer: Add a remote HTTP MCP server named Finta in Cursor with https://finta.ai/mcp, authenticate through Finta OAuth, and keep tool approval enabled while you verify the connection.
Prerequisites
| Check | Recommended state |
|---|---|
| Cursor | Updated to a version that supports remote HTTP MCP and OAuth. |
| Finta | Signed-in user with access to the intended organization. |
| Scope | Personal configuration for testing, team configuration only after review. |
| Approval | Manual tool approval enabled during initial verification. |
Add the server in Cursor settings
- Open Cursor Settings.
- Go to MCP & Integrations or the current MCP settings area.
- Choose New MCP server.
- Name it Finta.
- Select a remote HTTP server when Cursor asks for the transport.
- Paste
https://finta.ai/mcp. - Save, then complete the OAuth sign-in in your browser.
- Select the correct Finta organization.
- Return to Cursor and confirm that Finta appears as connected.
If you manage MCP through configuration files or team settings, use Cursor's MCP documentation as the source of truth for the current format. Do not place Finta OAuth tokens in a repository or shared mcp.json file.
Verify the tool inventory
Ask Cursor:
List the Finta tools available to you. Then search for one CRM contact I name. Do not change any data.
Cursor normally asks before running MCP tools. Keep that behavior on during setup. Review the tool name, arguments, and target organization before approval.
Personal versus team setup
| Setup | Best for | Control to add |
|---|---|---|
| Personal | Initial testing and individual work | Keep approvals on and restrict tools. |
| Project | A repository-specific workflow | Never commit credentials or private headers. |
| Team | Standardized access for multiple users | Use an allowlist, documented owner, and periodic tool review. |
How Finta helps
Cursor can retrieve supported Finta CRM and relationship context while you work, which is useful when building internal fundraising tools, preparing data workflows, or checking records without exporting a full CRM dataset. Finta remains the source of truth and applies organization authorization.
Limitations
- Cursor controls its own approval, auto-run, and team trust settings.
- Auto-run can increase the impact of a mistaken prompt. Use it only for a narrow set of reviewed tools.
- Finta MCP does not grant Cursor access to unrelated Finta organizations.
- Tool availability and credit requirements can change as Finta evolves.
