Add the GitKraken MCP server to Cursor
Git operations plus issues and pull requests across GitHub, GitLab, Jira and Azure DevOps through the gk CLI.
1. Add the server
Paste into .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global)
{
"mcpServers": {
"gitkraken": {

]
}

}Scopes, env vars, OAuth and limits: Cursor MCP config guide
2. Sign in
Cursor prompts you to sign in the first time a remote OAuth server is used. GitKraken runs locally; set any credentials GitKraken asks for before starting Cursor.
3. Try it
Ask Cursor for something GitKraken can do. Git operations plus issues and pull requests across GitHub, GitLab, Jira and Azure DevOps through the gk CLI. Approve the first tool call and check the result before allowing write actions automatically.
- · Remote servers take a url; local servers take command and args.
- · Values can reference ${env:NAME} so secrets stay out of the file.
