Install and sign in
/plugin, install merv from rapidreview. Then select Connect for Merv in Customize. Team marketplaces can enable Auto Refresh.
Ask the agent to call
project(action="list"), then workflow.status_and_next(project_id). Follow along in the web UI at rapidreview.io/merv.Skills and reviewers
Skills follow the Agent Skills standard and are auto-discovered; reviewer agents too. Delegate a review with/experiment-design-review or in natural language — subagents get a clean context window. See Reviewer handoff.
Long runs
Cursor 3.0+: a background shell with notify-on-output armed on the sentinel regex^MERV_RUNS_WAIT . Shell exit or a matched line resumes the agent. If a long-idle reattach fails, re-run the watcher or use a stop-hook loop. See Long runs.
Caveats
- Cursor caps around 40 tools across all active MCP servers. Merv exposes 41 by default, so Merv alone can hit the cap; turning Storage off for the project drops six, and disabling other servers helps.
- Cursor may show a naming warning for dotted tools such as
workflow.status_and_next; calls still work. - Local dev bundles must be copied, not symlinked — Cursor rejects symlinks whose target is outside
~/.cursor/plugins/local. From the repo root:python3 merv/scripts/build_client_bundle.py --out ~/.cursor/plugins/local/merv.
