Code Review MCP Tool for Cursor
This tool is a Cursor plugin based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that automatically generates git diffs and performs code reviews within Cursor.
Features
- Compare code differences between two git branches
- Provide detailed code review guidelines
- Support Notion integration to retrieve review guidelines from Notion code blocks, with default guidelines as fallback
- Include pre-configured style and code review guidelines
Cursor Configuration
To use this tool in Cursor, you need to add the following configuration to your Cursor settings:
- Open Cursor settings (typically located at
~/.cursor/config.json) - Add the following configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"code-review-tool": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "code-review-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"NOTION_API_KEY": "notion_api_key",
"NOTION_CODE_REVIEW_GUIDELINE_CODE_BLOCK_URL": "notion_code_block_url_here",
"NOTION_STYLE_GUIDELINE_CODE_BLOCK_URL": "notion_code_block_url_here"
}
}
}
}
Enhancing AI Tool Usage with Cursor Rules
For optimal integration with Cursor's AI assistant, we recommend adding the following rule to your Cursor Rules:
Tools
- Whenever the terms 'code review' and 'base branch' appear in the chat, utilize the codeReview MCP tool to generate a diff and associated instructions. Subsequently, use the generated diff and instructions to conduct a thorough code review of the files of the proposed changes.
This rule instructs the AI to automatically utilize the Code Review MCP tool when relevant keywords are detected in your conversations, significantly enhancing workflow efficiency.

Notion Integration Setup
1. Request Notion API Token
- Visit Notion Developers
- Create a new Integration
- Obtain the API token
For detailed instructions, refer to: Notion API Authorization Guide
2. Configure Environment Variables
The tool requires the following environment variables:
NOTION_API_KEY=your_token_here
NOTION_CODE_REVIEW_GUIDELINE_CODE_BLOCK_URL=your_notion_code_block_url
NOTION_STYLE_GUIDELINE_CODE_BLOCK_URL=your_notion_style_guideline_url
These can be provided in the env section of your Cursor configuration as shown above.
3. Add Integration to Notion Page
- Click the
Sharebutton on your Notion page - Add your Integration to the page's share list
Note: Currently only supports reading code blocks from Notion
For detailed instructions, refer to: Notion API Connections Guide
Usage
In the Cursor chat window, enter the following command:
code review
base branch: branch/any_branch
This will:
- Compare differences between the current branch and the specified base branch
- Automatically generate a git diff
- Perform a review based on style and code review guidelines
- Provide detailed review results and improvement suggestions
Review Guidelines
This tool provides two default sets of guidelines:
- Style Guide: Includes code style standards for variable naming, function naming, constant naming, etc.
- Code Review Guidelines: Includes code quality standards based on SOLID principles, readability, immutability, etc.
You can also customize these guidelines through Notion integration.
