Hydracept is not in the Cursor Marketplace yet. Install from https://github.com/zencodeinc/hydracept-plugin (tag v0.1.10) or run python -m hydracept agents install --auto.

The plugin talks to hosted MCP at https://api.hydracept.com/mcp. That server starts without Python and without a preinstalled hydracept package. When Cursor asks, set HYDRACEPT_API_KEY (create one at https://hydracept.com/start). Do not paste the key into chat. Marketplace and no-checkout installs keep using this hosted MCP, with the key stored in Plugins -> Configure.

In a project checkout, python -m hydracept init --apply --yes --json stores the key in .hydracept/secrets.json and can bind project MCP to stdio. After that, do not also copy the workspace key into Plugins -> Configure. Hosted MCP cannot apply or execute local project commands; those need the stdio bind in the project repo.

What's included

• Hosted MCP at https://api.hydracept.com/mcp
• Six skills: hydracept (general use), hydracept-setup (workspace bootstrap), hydracept-image (images and transparent PNGs), hydracept-sheet (Sheet and Slice families), hydracept-inspect (recover and reuse prior jobs), and hydracept-smoke (explicit paid verification)
• Two commands: /hydracept-init, /hydracept-doctor
• One always-apply rule (rules/hydracept.mdc) that keeps API keys out of chat
