AG Grid MCP Server: Setup for Claude, Cursor and Other Apps
ag-mcpLets Claude, Cursor and Copilot look up AG Grid docs, examples and API definitions for the exact version and framework you use.
This is AG Grid's own server for its data grid library. It gives the assistant a search over AG Grid's documentation, examples and API definitions for your version and framework, so its answers match what you run. It also ships two ready-made prompts, one to start a new grid and one to plan an upgrade.
It runs on your computer and reads your project's package.json to find the version. Doc searches go to AG Grid's search service.
Good for
- Developers adding AG Grid to a React, Angular, Vue or plain JavaScript app
- Teams upgrading AG Grid across versions with an assistant
- Anyone whose assistant keeps mixing up AG Grid versions

Tools
Searches the AG Grid docs for your version and framework
Sends your question to AG Grid's search service and returns matching docs, examples and API definitions as short markdown. It uses the version and framework detected for your project, unless you pass others.
Try: “How do I add column sorting to my AG Grid?”
Network ·
search_docsFinds which AG Grid version and framework your project uses
Reads the package.json in your project folder, works out the AG Grid version and framework, and saves them as the defaults for later searches.
Try: “Detect which AG Grid version this project uses.”
Write ·
detect_versionLists the AG Grid versions that have docs available
Fetches the list of versions from AG Grid's API, and notes the version your project currently uses.
Try: “Which AG Grid versions can I look up?”
Network ·
list_versionsSets the AG Grid version and framework to search
Checks that the version exists and the framework is react, angular, vue or vanilla, then saves them as the defaults. Useful in monorepos.
Try: “Use AG Grid 34.1.0 for React.”

Medium risk
The assistant can read your project's package.json and save a small config file, and your doc searches go to AG Grid's search service. Keep private code out of search queries.
What it can do
- Read your data
- Create and change things
- Delete things
- Read-only mode
Watch out for
It saves your project path and version in a config file
detect_version and set_versions write the chosen project root, version and framework to a config file in your cache folder, which the README names for macOS as ~/Library/Preferences/ag-mcp. registry.npmjs.org
Search terms go to AG Grid's service
Each docs search sends your query, version and framework to search.ag-grid.com. Avoid putting private code in the query. registry.npmjs.org
Requests look like they come from a browser
The code sends browser-style headers with every request to the AG Grid API, with a code comment about getting past a firewall. registry.npmjs.org

Questions
Is it official?
Yes. The npm package lists AG Grid as its author and the README is AG Grid's own, with links to the AG Grid documentation.
Which frameworks does it cover?
React, Angular, Vue and vanilla JavaScript.
Does it need an API key?
No. It needs no account or key.
Does it change my code?
No. It only returns documentation. It writes a small config file with your chosen AG Grid version and framework.
How does it pick the AG Grid version?
It reads package.json in your project folder, and you can override the version and framework in a search or with the set tool. In monorepos, set them by hand.
What prompts does it include?
Two: quick-start, to set up a new grid, and upgrade-grid, to plan a step-by-step migration to a newer version.
Does it work with ChatGPT?
No. It runs on your machine, so it needs a local client such as Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code with Copilot.
How do I add it to Cursor?
Use the Cursor tab in the install box above.
