<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Local Server">
    ### 1. Install Auggie CLI

    ```bash theme={null}
    npm install -g @augmentcode/auggie@latest
    ```

    ### 2. Sign in to Augment

    ```bash theme={null}
    auggie login
    ```

    This will open a browser window for authentication.

    ### 3. Configure the MCP server in Cursor

    * Go to settings (top right)

    Paste this configuration:

    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "augment-context-engine": {
          "type": "local",
          "command": "auggie",
          "args": ["--mcp", "--mcp-auto-workspace"],
          "enabled": true
        }
      }
    }
    ```

    ### 4. Test the integration

    ```
    Prompt: "What is this project? Please use codebase retrieval tool to get the answer."
    ```

    Cursor should confirm it has access to the `codebase-retrieval` tool.
