Jina AI MCP Tools

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates with Jina AI Search Foundation APIs.

Features

This MCP server provides access to the following Jina AI APIs:

• Web Reader - Extract content from web pages using r.jina.ai
• Web Search - Search the web using s.jina.ai
• Fact-Check - Verify factual statements using g.jina.ai

Prerequisites

1. Jina AI API Key - Get a free API key from https://jina.ai/?sui=apikey
2. Node.js - Version 16 or higher

Cursor Editor Configuration

You can integrate this MCP server with Cursor to enhance your coding experience.

Configuration File Setup

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project or in your home directory (~/.cursor/mcp.json for global access) with the following structure:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jina-mcp-tools": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "jina-mcp-tools"
      ],
      "env": {
        "JINA_API_KEY": "your_jina_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Using the Tools

Once configured, Cursor’s Agent will automatically use the Jina AI tools when appropriate. You can also explicitly instruct Agent to use specific tools:

• “Search the web for quantum computing using Jina tools”
• “Extract content from https://example.com using the jina_reader tool”
• “Use jina_fact_check to verify if the Earth is flat”

When a tool is called, Cursor will display the response in the chat. By default, you’ll need to approve each tool usage.

For unattended operation, you can enable Yolo mode in Cursor settings, which allows tools to run without approval (similar to terminal commands).
