Connect GoHighLevel to Cursor IDE | HighLevel Agency & Builder MCP

Why Funnel Builders & Agency Engineers Use Cursor with `ghl-agency`

Cursor is the fastest environment for editing JSON manifests, HTML/CSS funnel sections, and YAML workflow recipes—but without a full-stack HighLevel MCP, you still have to copy-paste everything into the HighLevel browser UI.

1-Command `.cursor/mcp.json` Setup + 55 Native Tools

Run `ghl-agency init-config --client cursor` to generate `.cursor/mcp.json` for either Hosted HTTP (`https://ghlagencymcp.com/mcp`) or local native `stdio`.
Version-control client onboarding manifests (`ops/ghl-location.json`, `custom-values.json`) in Git and apply them directly from Cursor Composer.
Use Progressive Discovery (`--progressive`) so Cursor stays fast and responsive.
Verify every change with automated read-back and `ghl-crm doctor` health scorecards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use Hosted HTTP or Local Stdio in Cursor?

Use Hosted HTTP (`https://ghlagencymcp.com/mcp`) for zero-install cloud convenience, or Local Stdio (`ghl-agency mcp --progressive`) if you want 100% local credential custody and local file access.

Where is the Cursor plugin bundle located?
