Cursor Guide
Connect Cursor once. Control repository access in Secure Git Bridge.
Install the Secure Git Bridge MCP connector in Cursor once, then bind, move, or revoke repository access only inside Secure Git Bridge.
1. Install Secure Git Bridge once
Add the Git repositories you want Secure Git Bridge to protect. Each repository keeps its own isolated helper, rotating broker capability, protected-file policy, audit chain, and patch proposal store.
2. Connect Cursor once
Open Cursor in Secure Git Bridge and choose Connect Cursor. Secure Git Bridge opens Cursor's Add MCP Server prompt with the provider-wide Secure Git Bridge connector. Approve it once.
The provider connector contains no repository path, repository ID, or repository broker credential. Provider setup and repository authority are separate.
3. Bind Cursor to a repository in Secure Git Bridge
Select the approved repository in Secure Git Bridge and choose Bind to this repository. Secure Git Bridge creates the internal route only after that human action. Cursor cannot enumerate, choose, or switch repositories through its connector.
If you later choose Move, Secure Git Bridge closes the previous provider session and moves the same installed connector to the newly selected repository. No reinstall is required.
4. Work through the Secure Git Bridge tools
- Read only policy-permitted repository content.
- Protected files and path escapes remain blocked.
- Git status, log, and diff remain repository-scoped.
- The AI may create patch proposals for local review.
- There is no Secure Git Bridge shell, repository picker, approval, rejection, or Apply tool for the AI.
Apply remains human-only inside Secure Git Bridge.
Cursor's normal editor and terminal capabilities are outside Secure Git Bridge's boundary. Repository operations intended to be protected by SSGB must go through the Secure Git Bridge MCP tools.
Disconnect without reinstalling
Unbind removes Cursor's repository route while leaving the provider connector configured. Disconnect This Repository revokes every AI route to that repository. Disconnect All AI Access revokes all repository routes. Provider connectors can remain installed and be rebound later.
What “Connected,” “Bound,” and “Active” mean
Connector ready means the one-time provider setup has been handed off and no repository authority is implied. Bound means Secure Git Bridge has authorized one repository route. Active is shown only after Secure Git Bridge sees a live provider MCP session.
Provider account and data flow
Your Cursor account, plan, usage, retention, and provider-side privacy terms remain with the provider. Repository content you intentionally authorize the AI to inspect can be transmitted to that provider through the normal AI interaction. Secure Git Bridge controls the local repository boundary and records access; it does not claim provider-side data handling.
