steps

  3. hyv doctor --fix-agents
  4. fully quit cursor, then reopen your project
  5. paste the prompt below into agent chat

copy this prompt

Paste into any chat in cursor after the steps above. On mcp hosts, tools must already be connected; on rules/skill hosts the agent should run the hyv cli.

For publishable copy such as a social post, newsletter, blog, landing page, campaign, or external audience-facing email, run hyv_scan on the draft. If it flags ai patterns or voice drift, fix the text with hyv_clean using my active voice profile. For routine chat, analysis, planning, coding, and internal engineering updates, do not run hyv unless I explicitly ask.

verify it works

  1. ask the agent: use hyv_scan on README.md

details to know

  • hyv writes ~/.cursor/mcp.json (mcpServers.hyv) and ~/.cursor/rules/hyv.mdc (alwaysApply: true)
  • tools include hyv_scan (free), hyv_clean, hyv_rewrite, hyv_validate
  • to print the config snippet only: hyv mcp --setup

limits and edge cases

  • cursor must be fully quit and reopened after every mcp config change
  • if mcp shows error: hyv doctor --fix-agents and restart cursor
  • verify the server: hyv mcp --test
