Directus MCP x Cursor: Unable to connect

Help
1

Hi everyone,

I am developing NextJS Application with Directus database. I want to connect my Cursor with Directus MCP following this guide: Mcp | Directus Docs

However, the connection keeps in red status “No tools or prompts”. I have checked my node ver is up to date also.

Using the same structure as the guide for adding the MCP server but still hit this error. The URL and API key is the same as my NextJS env.local. so I do not think it is the problem.

I am on Directus Cloud anyway. Appreciate with any help :folded_hands: Thank you

According to the docs, the correct env var is DIRECTUS_TOKEN instead of DIRECTUS_ACCESS_TOKEN

You can alternatively also use DIRECTUS_USER_EMAIL and DIRECTUS_USER_PASSWORD

Let me know if this was the only issue.
