Cursor is an AI-powered code editor. You can connect it to TryPost’s MCP server to manage your social media scheduling directly from the editor.

​
Prerequisites

  • Cursor 1.0 or later (earlier versions don’t support OAuth for remote MCP servers)
  • A TryPost Cloud account with an active trial or subscription (no card required to start)

​
Setup

1

Create the MCP configuration file

In your project root, create or edit .cursor/mcp.json:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trypost": {
      "url": "https://app.trypost.it/mcp/trypost"
    }
  }
}
No Authorization header is needed — Cursor detects OAuth from the URL and registers itself dynamically.
2

Sign in through your browser

Open Cursor’s MCP settings (or the AI chat) and click Connect next to trypost. Cursor opens a browser window for the TryPost sign-in. Approve the request and return to Cursor.
3

Verify the connection

Open the AI chat panel and ask:
List all my TryPost social accounts
For environments where the OAuth callback can’t reach Cursor (some sandboxed setups), set the Authorization header explicitly with a Personal Access Token:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trypost": {
      "url": "https://app.trypost.it/mcp/trypost",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
Create the key from Settings > API Keys on the TryPost dashboard.

​
Example prompts

Use Cursor’s AI chat or inline editing to interact with TryPost: 
Create a new post for all my connected accounts
