I tried to get the graphiti and add it to the Cursor IDE by following the steps below, but I couldn't make it work properly. I am not sure if this is a bug or if I forgot to miss configure something even if I followed the documentation.

Steps:

  • clone the repo git clone https://github.com/getzep/graphiti
  • go to repo cd graphiti
  • go to mcp server cd mcp_server
  • create an .env file with mv .env.example .env
  • The first .env configuration that I've tried is:
OPENAI_API_KEY='<MY_SECRET_KEY>'
NEO4J_URI='bolt://localhost:7687'
NEO4J_PORT=7687
NEO4J_USER='neo4j'
NEO4J_PASSWORD='demodemo'
  • running the docker-compose file with podman (using docker-podman) via podman compose up -d
  • Adding the custom rules to the Cursor IDE
  • Adding the MCP config to my Cursor:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "graphiti": {
      "transport": "sse",
      "url": "http://localhost:8000/sse"
    }
  }
}

After all of those were done, I asked Cursor to do something, but it couldn't add the information to the actual graph. Below are the logs from the graffiti container.

OpenRouter config:

I've also tried with the openrouter as a provider instead of openai with the following configuration:

OPENAI_API_KEY='<MY SCRETE KEY>'
OPENAI_BASE_URL='https://openrouter.ai/api/v1'
NEO4J_URI='bolt://localhost:7687'
NEO4J_PORT=7687
NEO4J_USER='neo4j'
NEO4J_PASSWORD='demodemo'
MODEL_NAME='deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3-0324'

I will ask the cursor to do the same task, and now I will have those logs:
