MCP setup for Cursor

Install the fal plugin from the Cursor Marketplace, or connect the fal MCP server with a remote server URL and browser sign-in.

Install from the Cursor Marketplace

The fal plugin adds the fal MCP server and fal skills for model selection, prompting, and media workflows.

Add the plugin

Open the fal listing in the Cursor Marketplace. Sign in to Cursor if prompted, then add the plugin.

Open Customize, find fal in the MCP server list, and complete browser sign-in. Each user must authorize their own connection.

Check tools

Open an Agent chat and ask Cursor to find a fal model without running it.

If you do not use the plugin, add the server to your MCP configuration.

Add fal

Open or create ~/.cursor/mcp.json for access across your projects. Merge this entry into mcpServers, preserving your other connections:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fal": {
      "url": "https://mcp.fal.ai/mcp-relay"
    }
  }
}

For project-only access, use .cursor/mcp.json in your project instead.

Open Customize, find fal in the MCP server list, and complete browser sign-in. Each user must authorize their own connection.

Check tools

Open an Agent chat and ask Cursor to find a fal model without running it.

After connecting, try your first generation. For account selection, tools, and troubleshooting, see the fal MCP overview.
