Use Awardtide Recompete Radar MCP with Cursor

Expiring US federal contracts MCP: recompete search by NAICS/agency. Free first 10; $29/mo.

Remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP), nothing to install. Free: Count, total value and first 10 matches free · Paid: Radar Pro $29/mo: every row, saved filters, weekly alerts, CSV

Set it up

1. Open or create the mcp.json file (global or per project).
2. Add the server under "mcpServers" as shown and save.
3. Open Cursor's settings, find the MCP section and check that the server is enabled and lists its tools.
4. Ask the agent a question the tools can answer and approve the tool call.

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "awardtide": {
      "url": "https://awardtide.cybermaxtools.com/mcp?via=use-with-cursor"
    }
  }
}

With a paid key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "awardtide": {
      "url": "https://awardtide.cybermaxtools.com/mcp?via=use-with-cursor",
      "headers": {
        "x-licence": "${env:CYBERMAX_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor fills ${env:CYBERMAX_API_KEY} from your environment, so the key never sits in the file.

Where it goes:

• ~/.cursor/mcp.json (every project)
• .cursor/mcp.json (this project only)

Config format checked 2026-10-09 against Cursor's MCP documentation.

Tools you get

Endpoint checked 2026-10-09: https://awardtide.cybermaxtools.com/mcp answered an MCP initialize (protocol 2025-06-18) and tools/list with 1 tool, all marked read-only. No key was used and no tool was called.

Test the endpoint from a terminal

This lists the tools without a key and without calling any of them:

curl -s https://awardtide.cybermaxtools.com/mcp \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

If it does not work

• Cursor uses the top-level key "mcpServers" (VS Code uses "servers"); a file copied from VS Code will not load.
• After editing the file, toggle the server off and on in settings if the tools do not appear.
• The free tier has a daily limit (see the pricing line above); a paid key raises it.
