Add Vamo to Cursor, sign in with your browser, and ask Cursor's agent for engineers in plain English.
Recommended
Copy the setup prompt and paste it into Cursor. It signs you up if you are new, connects Vamo with your sign-in and runs your first search.
Add Vamo to ~/.cursor/mcp.json in your home directory, never inside a project. Then open Cursor Settings > MCP and click Connect to sign in with Vamo.

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_VAMO_API_KEY A key is shown once. You pick its permissions when you create it.
If your team manages Cursor, ask your admin to allow the Vamo MCP server, mcp.vamotalent.ai, for members. Rolling it out to a whole team? We set it up with you on a short call.
Ask for engineers in your own words, or start with one of these. A good answer names real developers, says what each has built, and says why they fit.
