Docs Cursor skills
Use Edge and install skills in Cursor
Connect Edge through Cursor MCP settings, then describe your task to Agent and ask it to find and load a fitting skill. For a persistent local skill, copy the reviewed folder to .cursor/skills or .agents/skills in the project. Personal skills can live in ~/.cursor/skills or ~/.agents/skills.
How do I connect Edge?
Merge the Edge entry into ~/.cursor/mcp.json. In Cursor, confirm the server is enabled and that find_skill and use_skill are available. Ask Agent to call find_skill before it starts the specialist part of your task.
{
"mcpServers": {
"edge": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@getedge/mcp"
]
}
}
}Free setup uses no Edge key. Read Edge setup for plans and data handling.
Where do I keep a skill?
.cursor/skills/my-skill/SKILL.md or ~/.cursor/skills/my-skill/SKILL.md
Project skills can travel with the repository. Local personal skill folders do not automatically travel to remote or cloud workers; use project skills for a shared environment. Preserve supporting scripts and references when copying a skill.
Review a skill before adding it. Preserve its whole folder, including scripts, references and assets. Follow the skill selection guide to check its exact source and requirements.
How do I check that setup works?
Ask: Use Edge to find a skill for my task, show its source, and load it if it fits. Confirm an actual find_skill and use_skill result. Then try one small task and inspect the output. A visible configuration entry confirms setup syntax; it does not prove that a skill improves the result.
