Cursor supports MCP servers natively. Install once and Cursor will use AgentRank automatically when you ask for tool recommendations.

Option 1 — MCP server (recommended)

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json for global use, or .cursor/mcp.json in your project for project-scoped access.

mkdir -p .cursor && curl -o .cursor/mcp.json https://raw.githubusercontent.com/superlowburn/agentrank/main/skill/agentrank/cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentrank": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "agentrank-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Option 2 — Rules file

If you prefer cursor rules over MCP, copy .cursorrules to your project root or ~/.cursorrules for global use.

curl -o .cursorrules https://raw.githubusercontent.com/superlowburn/agentrank/main/skill/agentrank/cursor/.cursorrules

For the new .cursor/rules/ format (Cursor 0.43+):

mkdir -p .cursor/rules && curl -o .cursor/rules/agentrank.mdc https://raw.githubusercontent.com/superlowburn/agentrank/main/skill/agentrank/cursor/rules/agentrank.mdc

VS Code 1.99+ supports MCP servers in agent mode. Add AgentRank to your workspace and Copilot will query it automatically.

Option 1 — MCP server (recommended)

Add to .vscode/mcp.json in your project. VS Code picks this up automatically in agent mode.

mkdir -p .vscode && curl -o .vscode/mcp.json https://raw.githubusercontent.com/superlowburn/agentrank/main/skill/agentrank/vscode/mcp.json

{
  "inputs": [],
  "servers": {
    "agentrank": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "agentrank-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Option 2 — Copilot instructions

Copy copilot-instructions.md to .github/ — Copilot reads this automatically for workspace-level context.

mkdir -p .github && curl -o .github/copilot-instructions.md https://raw.githubusercontent.com/superlowburn/agentrank/main/skill/agentrank/vscode/copilot-instructions.md

Cline supports MCP servers. Add AgentRank via the Cline MCP settings in VS Code, or drop a rules file for instruction-based access.

Option 1 — MCP server (recommended)

Open Cline in VS Code, go to MCP Servers, click Configure MCP Servers, and add the following to cline_mcp_settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentrank": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "agentrank-mcp-server"],
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": ["search", "lookup", "get_badge_url"]
    }
  }
}

Option 2 — Rules file

Copy .clinerules to your project root or ~/.clinerules for global use.

curl -o .clinerules https://raw.githubusercontent.com/superlowburn/agentrank/main/skill/agentrank/cline/.clinerules

Claude Code has native MCP support. One command installs the server globally.

MCP server

claude mcp add agentrank -- npx -y agentrank-mcp-server

Or install the skill (includes both MCP and instructions):

npx skills add superlowburn/agentrank --skill skill/agentrank

Windsurf uses .windsurfrules for AI instructions. Copy to your project root or global rules location.

Rules file

curl -o .windsurfrules https://raw.githubusercontent.com/superlowburn/agentrank/main/skill/agentrank/windsurf/.windsurfrules

For global use, add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/memories/global_rules.md.

Add to your Claude Desktop config to use AgentRank in any Claude Desktop conversation.

MCP server

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentrank": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "agentrank-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after saving.
