How to connect Cursor to public records

Cursor speaks MCP, so you can give its agent live access to US public records with one server entry. Amalgament exposes the records as tools the agent calls on its own, which is useful when you are building anything that touches business, property, or government data.

1. Open Cursor's MCP settings

In Cursor, open Settings and find the MCP section, or edit the mcp.json config directly. Cursor supports remote MCP servers, so Amalgament connects by URL.

2. Add the Amalgament server

Add Amalgament with the connector URL below. If you are editing mcp.json, the entry is exactly this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "amalgament": {
      "url": "https://api.amalgament.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

3. Reload and authorize

Reload the MCP servers (or restart Cursor). On first use you sign in and approve access, and the Amalgament tools become available to the agent.

4. Use it in chat or agent mode

Ask the agent a data question and it calls Amalgament for ground truth instead of guessing, then continues with the answer in context.

Common questions

Do I need an API key to use Amalgament in Cursor?

No. The Amalgament MCP server uses sign-in (OAuth): the first time Cursor calls it, you authorize once in-app and the tools stay connected. A separate REST API key exists if you also want to call Amalgament from your own code.

Is it free?

Every account starts with 500 free credits. After that, one-time credit packs (Starter $29, Growth $99, Scale $299), and you are only charged for successful calls that return data.

Which tools does Cursor get?

Seven: search_records, records_at_address, records_at_parcel, records_for_entity, get_canonical_entity, get_record, and list_datasets. The agent discovers them automatically and calls the right one for your question.
