# FAQ
How do I add an MCP server to Cursor?
Use the one-click install link, or add the server URL to ~/.cursor/mcp.json under mcpServers.
Does Cursor support remote MCP servers with OAuth?
Yes. Cursor connects to the URL and opens a browser for the email-code sign-in the first time.
Does it work in VS Code too?
Yes. Use the one-click VS Code link on the home page or the config in the docs.
Can the Cursor agent book flights?
It creates a secure checkout link. You pay the fare plus the booking fee by card on that page.
Where is my data stored?
Your email and saved travelers are stored per account. Card details go to Duffel's payment form and are never stored by flightclaw.
