Print Hive for Cursor

Cursor connects to Print Hive over the official MCP install deeplink. The link adds a remote HTTP server named print-hive that points at https://api.printhiv3d.com/v1/mcp. After install, Cursor starts Print Hive OAuth — do not paste an API key.

Requires the Cursor desktop app. The button uses Cursor's documented install-link format.

Authorize Print Hive

Click Add to Cursor. Cursor prompts to install the print-hive MCP server.
Open Cursor Settings → Tools & MCP (or Features → MCP Servers on older builds).
Select print-hive and start the authorization flow.
Sign in to Print Hive, review the requested permissions, select the correct organization, and approve the connection.
Return to Cursor and confirm that print-hive is connected.

Manual mcp.json

If the deeplink is blocked, add the same HTTP transport to .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "print-hive": {
      "url": "https://api.printhiv3d.com/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor detects remote transport from the url field and starts OAuth. Do not add headers or an API key.

Verify the installation

Open Cursor's AI chat (Cmd+L / Ctrl+L) and start with a read-only prompt:

List my printers and separate connectivity from print activity.

Example Prompts

What is the farm health right now?
What should I do next on the farm? (playbook)
Show filament runway — which colors are running low?
What filaments are loaded in the AMS?
Which jobs are at risk and why?
Pause the print running on my X1C
Show me recent print jobs and their completion rates

Security boundaries

OAuth access is bound to your selected Print Hive organization and granted scopes.
Printer access codes and local host credentials are entered only in the Print Hive web app.
Write and printer-control tools resolve an explicit target and may require confirmation before execution.

Troubleshooting

Deeplink did nothing — confirm Cursor is installed, then paste the install URL into a browser that can open cursor:// links.
OAuth disconnected — open MCP settings and reconnect Print Hive.
Printer offline — verify HiveLink and network health before retrying a control action.
Tools not available — enable print-hive under Cursor Settings → Tools & MCP.
