About AI summaries.

You can use Cursor to query Imply Lumi events from within your development environment. The MCP integration connects Lumi to Cursor through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling natural language queries, generating the SQL to send to Lumi, and returning the results in context.

Prerequisites​

To query Lumi events with Cursor, you need the following:

You also need a Cursor account. Before you begin, install Cursor and log in. See Cursor quickstart for details.

Obtain Lumi authentication details​

To obtain the details you need from Lumi:

  1. Go to the Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration page in Lumi and select your IAM key.
  2. Select the Cursor AI agent. Cursor integration
  3. Copy the code snippet in Configure Cursor. You'll need it in the next step.

Configure Cursor​

To register your Lumi MCP server with Cursor:

  1. Open the Cursor configuration file at ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Create the file if it doesn't exist.

  2. Add the snippet you saved in Obtain Lumi authentication details to include the Lumi mcpServers object. For example:

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "imply-lumi": {
          "url": "https://mcp.lumi.imply.io",
          "headers": {
            "X-Lumi-Auth": "0b8d890e-0bc4-4208-ab68-c195c00d76b0"
          }
        }
      }
    }

  3. Restart Cursor.

Query Lumi from Cursor​
