Add the Honeycomb MCP server to Cursor
Query Honeycomb traces, events, metrics, SLOs, triggers and boards.
1. Add the server

2. Sign in
Cursor prompts you to sign in the first time a remote OAuth server is used. Honeycomb is hosted by Honeycomb, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.
3. Try it
Ask Cursor for something Honeycomb can do. Query Honeycomb traces, events, metrics, SLOs, triggers and boards. 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.
