Connect Cursor to Pear MCP

1. Create your Pear account

Sign up at pearmcp.com, then connect Apple iCloud or Microsoft 365. Cursor's primary setup uses Pear OAuth, so it does not require a Pear API key or client secret.

2. Install Pear with Cursor OAuth

Choose Add Pear to Cursor, approve the MCP server, then complete Pear sign-in and consent. Cursor uses Pear's public OAuth Client ID with no client secret.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pear": {
      "url": "https://pearmcp.com/api/mcp",
      "auth": {
        "CLIENT_ID": "pear_oauth_grok_bot"
      }
    }
  }
}

This install is for Cursor. Grok Bot is not supported yet, and Pear has not completed Grok Bot testing. Do not treat Cursor availability as Grok Bot support.

3. API-key alternative

If you prefer manual configuration, add Pear from Cursor's MCP settings or project/user MCP JSON. Keep the Bearer credential in an environment variable so it stays out of source control.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pear": {
      "url": "https://pearmcp.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:PEAR_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

4. Verify inside Cursor

• Approve the server install, or restart Cursor after saving manual JSON.
• Confirm Pear appears in Cursor's MCP server list.
• Start with a read-only prompt such as checking today's calendar.
• Only run write actions after Cursor shows the right connected provider account.

Apple Reminders compatibility

Apple Reminders availability depends on the Apple account. For Apple, Pear can read and write only the legacy reminder lists Apple still exposes through CalDAV. If the account has been upgraded to Apple's newer Reminders store, Pear cannot access those native lists and does not copy them into a separate reminder store. Apple may instead return compatibility placeholders, such as repeated "Where are my reminders?" items; Pear did not create them. Pear's safe fallback hides known placeholders and blocks writes to affected lists. Reconnecting iCloud or replacing the App-Specific Password will not change this Apple limitation. Calendar, Contacts, and Mail are unaffected, and Microsoft To Do uses Microsoft Graph and is unaffected. Full modern Apple Reminders access would require an Apple-platform companion using EventKit with the user's permission; Pear does not currently provide one.
