Configure the PWA Kit MCP Server

Configure the PWA Kit MCP server in Cursor settings, in the mcp.json file. You can also follow the steps in this video: Configure the PWA Kit MCP Server.

From the Cursor menu, click Settings > Cursor Settings > Tools & MCP.
If no MCP servers are setup, click New MCP Server.
For an empty mcp.json file, add this entire definition, or if the mcp.json file contains other MCP servers, add the "pwa-kit" section.

For details about the flags you can set to the PWA Kit MCP server configuration, see Usage Data Collection with Telemetry.

If you created your PWA Kit app, replace {{path-to-app-directory}} with the absolute path to your generated project’s app subfolder. For example: /Users/username/mcp-server-folder/mystorefront/app.

After MCP Server Setup

After the MCP server settings are saved, Cursor does these steps.

Displays the available tools in the UI and how you can invoke them.

PWA Kit MCP tools available in Cursor settings

You can return to MCP tools anytime in Cursor to enable or disable specific tools or servers.
