1. Open the signup page

Go to this app’s home page and click Sign up with Basecamp.

2. Authorize with Basecamp

You’ll be redirected to Basecamp to sign in and allow access. After you approve, you’ll return here.

3. Copy your config

On the success page, click Copy config to copy the JSON block. Save your API key if shown; it won’t be shown again.

4. Add the server in Cursor

Open your project’s .cursor/mcp.json (or Cursor Settings → MCP). Paste the copied config so the basecamp entry is inside mcpServers. If you already have other servers, merge the basecamp block in; don’t remove others.

5. Reload and verify

Reload Cursor (Ctrl+Shift+P → Developer: Reload Window). In Settings → Tools & MCP you should see basecamp with all tools available. Try asking the chat to list your Basecamp projects.

Troubleshooting

Copy button doesn’t work? Select the JSON in the box and copy manually (Ctrl+C).

401 Unauthorized? Check that the Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY header is set exactly, and the URL matches your SSE server.

Token expired? Visit this app again and complete the Basecamp signup flow to refresh.
