Connect Cursor
Keep your references close to the code you are changing.
Before you connect
Sign in to the Taste account that holds your references. Start with a small collection you can recognize when the connection succeeds. Choose the setup below for the client you use.
Connect and authorize
Add the server, then finish the Taste sign-in and consent flow. Merely saving the server URL does not mean its tools loaded successfully.
Cursor
Add to Cursor- Click 'Add to Cursor' to launch Cursor with Taste pre-configured.
- Sign in with your Taste account when prompted.
- Use Taste's tools from any chat. Try: 'Use my Taste profile to design a settings screen.'
Verify the connection
Use the Taste MCP to list my collections and their item counts. Do not substitute a local skill file. Report any tool, authentication, or startup error exactly.
What success looks like
The client returns your actual collections, or a valid empty result if you have not created any. It does not guess from local files.
Give it a focused first task
Ask the agent to find one collection, inspect its images and annotations, and explain the direction before it edits your project. If it cannot view images in this client, have it identify that limitation.
Find my “Onboarding” collection in Taste. Inspect the available images and my notes. Explain what should influence this project and what should not be copied. Preserve our existing components. Tell me if any context is unavailable.
If the tools do not appear
Check the client’s MCP status and the exact error. Finish authentication if required, restart or refresh the client’s tools, and try the verification again. A configured entry alone is not a successful connection.
