What HarnessLink captures from Cursor

FeatureIn CursorDetails
Prompt historyNoNot captured: Cursor keeps chats in an editor database HarnessLink does not read.
Session transcriptsPartly~/.cursor/sessions/*.jsonl only.
Memory bank (autobank)NoNot supported.
Gateway routingNoNot routed.
Context hooksNoNot available.
Memory tools (MCP)PartlymcpServers.superpi in ~/.cursor/mcp.json, registered by hand; setup does not do it for you.
Org policy rulesNoNot enforced: there is no tool hook.
Skills from templatesYeshnl add <skill> installs into ~/.cursor/skills; Cursor also reads ~/.agents/skills, ~/.claude/skills and ~/.codex/skills.
Resume in another harnessNohnl resume does not offer Cursor sessions.

Set up Cursor

  1. Install HarnessLink on macOS or Linux (Windows has its own one-liner).

    curl -fsSL https://harnesslink.sh/install.sh | bash
  2. Sign in once in your browser; setup then turns on what each harness on the machine supports.

    hnl cloud setup
  3. Register the MCP memory tools in Cursor yourself; setup does not.

    hnl mcp register --harness=cursor --yes
  4. Sync Cursor's session files and ~/.cursorrules if setup did not turn that on.

    hnl cloud harnesses enable cursor

How memory reaches Cursor

Through the memory tools, once registered. The MCP server is the HarnessLink service's own (superpi mcp). Its tools include memory_search (search your memory across projects and machines), memory_get (read one entry in full), memory_bank (record a decision or outcome), context_brief (a budgeted brief of the project), session_list and session_get.

Nothing is added to a Cursor chat on its own: Cursor has no hooks HarnessLink can use, so the model reaches memory only when it calls a tool.

Limits

  • Cursor prompts and chats are not captured or banked.
  • No gateway routing, context hooks or org policy rules.
