Configure Cursor IDE to publish to the collector

No client-side configuration is required. Enable the VSCDB source in the collector and nothing inside Cursor itself needs to change — Cursor IDE chat history is auto-discovered.

Prerequisites

Finish Deploy the collector on the host first. Per-user collector mode is assumed — the canonical preset resolves paths under the running user's home directory.

What to set on the collector

Add the following to collector.yaml and restart the collector:

sources:
  vscdb:
    enabled: true

That's it. vscdb.enabled: true auto-watches every canonical IDE chat store on every host (Cursor IDE chat KV, Cursor agent transcripts) — no per-host enumeration required, and stores that aren't installed are silently skipped.
