Installation# Installation with Cursor

1. Edit your Cursor MCP configuration file located at ~/.cursor/mcp.json
2. Add the GitGuardian MCP server configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "GitGuardianDeveloper": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/GitGuardian/gg-mcp.git", "developer-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Authentication Process

1. When you start the server, it will automatically open a browser window to authenticate with GitGuardian.
2. After you log in to GitGuardian and authorize the application, you'll be redirected back to the local server.
3. The authentication token will be securely stored for future use.
4. The next time you start the server, it will reuse the stored token without requiring re-authentication.
