Centralizing Requirements to Implementation: Using Rizm with Cursor via MCP

Keeping requirements, implementation plans, and results aligned is harder than it sounds. Context gets lost between task trackers, wikis, and editors — especially once AI coding tools enter the workflow. In this post, I’ll introduce a practical setup that connects Rizm (a self-hosted task + wiki tool) with the Cursor editor using MCP (Model Context Protocol), so that everything from planning to implementation stays task-centric and traceable. What This Setup Solves No more copying requirements into chat prompts Plans and implementation notes are stored back with the task Tasks become the single source of truth — not your editor history Cursor can read task data from Rizm and write back results automatically. Prerequisites Rizm (self-hosted or demo environment) Cursor editor MCP support enabled in Cursor Step 1: Generate an API Token in Rizm From the Me page in Rizm, generate an API token for MCP access and copy it. This token will be used by Cursor to securely access task data. Step 2:
