@neitherai/mcp-server

Stdio MCP server for Cursor and other agent IDEs. Connects to Neither decision memory with cited provenance — not anonymous text chunks.

Free beta — no waitlist required. Create a workspace API key and paste it into your MCP config.

Cursor install

Add this to your Cursor MCP settings (mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "neither": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@neitherai/mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "NEITHER_API_KEY": "sk_ctx_your_workspace_key",
        "NEITHER_API_BASE": "https://api.neither.online"
      }
    }
  }
}

NEITHER_API_BASE defaults to https://api.neither.online when omitted.

Environment variables

NEITHER_API_KEY	Yes	Workspace key with memory_read (and can_ingest for push)
NEITHER_API_BASE	No	API host (default: https://api.neither.online)

When to call Neither

Call Neither at delivery forks and planning writes — when choosing between approaches or aligning strategy — not on every file open or for passive archaeology.
