Install Katara's Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server in Cursor

How to get Katara's MCP working in Cursor:

One-click MCP setup with Katara is the easiest compliant RAG backend for building production grade agentic apps.

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables seamless integration between large language models (LLMs) and external data sources or tools. Katara natively provides secure, dedicated MCP servers for each data collection you've loaded and processed.

MCP support also standardizes how Katara integrates with the exploding ecosystem of AI applications. Instead of building and maintaining bespoke connectors for each new LLM client or IDE, the same Katara MCP servers work universally across MCP-enabled tools, future-proofing your agentic workflows and dramatically reducing integration friction.
