Connect Cursor
Run Poliogo inside Cursor. Ask your agent to check the app and it scans the workspace and lists what your documents don't yet cover.
npx poliogo-mcp initRun this in your project, then ask your agent to check your compliance. MCP access is included from the Starter plan.
How the connection works
- Run one commandnpx poliogo-mcp init registers the server in your editor, once per project.
- Ask your agentIt calls check_compliance and scans the workspace locally.
- Detection on demandRe-ask any time — or wire the same tools into CI as subcommands.

Exact permissions requested
Every permission this connection asks for, named as Cursor names it on its own consent screen — so you can compare this table to what you are shown.
| Permission | Grant | What it is used for |
|---|---|---|
| No account grant | Not requested | There is no OAuth step. The MCP server runs on your machine under your own user. |
| Workspace files | Read | Read locally, in the folder you ran the scan in. Nothing is uploaded. |
| Writing documents | Write | Only when you ask the agent to. generate_docs and install_pages write into your project, and you review the diff. |
Setting it up
What you do, and what you will be looking at while you do it.
Run the command in your project
It writes the Poliogo MCP server into Cursor's config. Once per project, and there is no OAuth step — the server runs on your machine under your own user.
Restart Cursor if it was open
Cursor reads its MCP config at startup, so a running window will not see a server that was registered underneath it.
Ask your agent
“Check if my app is compliant.” It calls check_compliance, which scans your workspace locally and reports which detected services your documents do not yet describe.
Ask it to fix it
“Fix it.” The agent calls generate_docs and install_pages, which write your policies and their routes into the project as real pages in your framework. You review the diff like any other change.
Keep your agent informed
inject_rules writes a fenced compliance block into .cursorrules, so Cursor itself starts flagging compliance-relevant changes while you are still authoring them. The markers mean regeneration never clobbers your own content.
Choose how to scan your app
Pick one. We scan your code and settings to find the services your app uses — the scan keeps that list, not your files.

What Poliogo detects from Cursor
The right-hand column is the part worth reading: it is what this connection cannot reach even if we wanted it to.
What it reads
- The workspace open in your editor, scanned on your own machine.
- Manifests and source text, exactly as a repository scan reads them.
- Drift against the last snapshot your documents were generated from.
What it never reads
- Your source code. It never leaves the machine — only the list of detected services is sent.
- Anything outside the workspace you ran the scan in.
- Any file, unless you ask the agent to write the documents.
