# Connect Cursor to RobinReach: mcp.json Setup for Social Posts

> To connect Cursor to RobinReach, add a robinreach entry to ~/.cursor/mcp.json with your RobinReach URL and API key as its url, save, and make sure the server is turned on in Cursor's MCP settings. Cursor's agent can then write, schedule and publish posts on 13 networks, read your analytics and answer comments while you code. Put the file in .cursor/mcp.json instead to use it in one project only. It is included on the Bloom, Thrive and Scale plans.

Canonical: https://robinreach.com/ai/integrations/cursor
App: Cursor, by Anysphere (https://cursor.com)
Where you use it: Code editor
Sign in: API key. Setup time: 1 minute. RobinReach plan: Bloom, Thrive and Scale.

## What you need

In Cursor:
- Cursor on Mac, Windows or Linux.
- Your API key from the Integrations page in RobinReach.

In RobinReach:
- The Bloom, Thrive and Scale plan (Bloom, $24 a month).
- An API key from the Integrations page (the account key reaches every brand; a brand key reaches one).

## Setup

### 1. Open your MCP config

Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json to use RobinReach in every project, or .cursor/mcp.json inside one project. Cursor's MCP settings open the same file.

### 2. Paste this block

Replace **YOUR_API_KEY** with the key from the Integrations page in RobinReach. If the file already lists servers, add robinreach next to them inside mcpServers.

```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "robinreach": {
      "url": "https://robinreach.com/mcp/v1/messages?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY"
    }
  }
}
```

### 3. Turn it on and say hello

Save the file, check robinreach is switched on in Cursor's MCP settings, then ask the agent to list your RobinReach brands.

Check it works: Open the agent and ask: "List my RobinReach brands".

### Keep the key out of the URL

Cursor can send the key as a header instead. Use this block in place of the one in step 2.

```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "robinreach": {
      "url": "https://robinreach.com/mcp/v1/messages",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}
```

## Things to ask Cursor

- Write a changelog post for the commits merged this week and schedule it on LinkedIn for Thursday at 10.
- Post the screenshot in assets/new-dashboard.png to X with a one line caption, as a draft.
- Which of our last 20 posts got the most comments?
- Draft a Bluesky thread of five posts explaining this feature, from the README.

## Troubleshooting

**The robinreach server shows an error.** Check the API key in the URL is current. A newly created key on the Integrations page replaces the old one, so update mcp.json after creating one.

**The agent does not use RobinReach.** Make sure the server is switched on in Cursor's MCP settings and ask in the agent chat, mentioning RobinReach.

**Too many tools at once.** Cursor lets you switch individual tools off per server. Keep the ones you use, like posts, media and analytics.

## Questions

### Global or project config?

~/.cursor/mcp.json loads RobinReach in every project. .cursor/mcp.json loads it in one project, which suits a repo you share, as long as the key is not committed.

### Can Cursor upload images from my project?

Yes. The agent can upload a file from your project to your RobinReach library through a secure upload link and attach it to a post.

### Can I connect just one brand?

Yes. Use that brand's key from its Integrations page. Cursor then only reaches that brand.

### Does Cursor need Node.js for RobinReach?

No. Cursor connects to the URL directly over HTTP.

### Which plans include it?

On RobinReach, the Bloom, Thrive and Scale plans.
