2. Sign in
Cursor prompts you to sign in the first time a remote OAuth server is used. New Relic is hosted by New Relic, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.
3. Try it
Ask Cursor for something New Relic can do. Query New Relic metrics, logs, traces and entities from your agent. 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.
