Using Cursor to Access the Token API via MCP

Prerequisites

  • Cursor⁠ installed.
  • A JWT token from The Graph Market⁠.
  • npx⁠ or bunx⁠ installed and available in your path.
  • The @pinax/mcp package requires Node 18+, as it relies on built-in fetch() / Headers, which are not available in Node 17 or older. You may need to specify an exact path to an up-to-date Node version, or uninstall previous versions of Node to ensure @pinax/mcp uses the correct version.

Configuration

Create or edit your ~/.cursor/mcp.json file.

Cursor Settings > MCP > Add new global MCP Server

REST-based MCP

mcp.json
{  "mcpServers": {    "token-api": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["@pinax/mcp", "--remote-url", "https://token-api.mcp.thegraph.com/"],      "env": {        "ACCESS_TOKEN": "<https://thegraph.market JWT Access Token>"      }    }  }}

SQL-based MCP

mcp.json
{  "mcpServers": {    "token-api": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["@pinax/mcp", "--remote-url", "https://token-api.mcp.thegraph.com/sql"],      "env": {        "ACCESS_TOKEN": "<https://thegraph.market JWT Access Token>"      }    }  }}

Troubleshooting

Cursor IDE error notification that reads, "Failed to create client"

To enable logs for the MCP, use the --verbose true option.

mcp.json
{  "mcpServers": {    "token-api": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["@pinax/mcp", "--remote-url", "https://token-api.mcp.thegraph.com/", "--verbose", "true"],      "env": {        "ACCESS_TOKEN": "<https://thegraph.market JWT Access Token>"      }    }  }}

ENOENT

Try to use the full path of the command instead:

  • Run which npx or which bunx to get the path of the command.
  • Replace npx or bunx in the configuration file with the full path (e.g. /home/user/bin/bunx).

Server disconnected

Double-check your API key otherwise look in your navigator if https://token-api.mcp.thegraph.com/sse is reachable.
