# Cursor

> Connect TryPost to Cursor for AI-powered social media management in your editor

[Cursor](https://cursor.com) 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 ([start a 7-day free trial](/knowledge-base/plans-and-billing))

## Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create the MCP configuration file">
    In your project root, create or edit `.cursor/mcp.json`:

    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "trypost": {
          "url": "https://app.trypost.it/mcp/trypost"
        }
      }
    }
    ```

    No `Authorization` header is needed — Cursor detects OAuth from the URL and registers itself dynamically.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify the connection">
    Open the AI chat panel and ask:

    ```
    List all my TryPost social accounts
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Accordion title="Bearer token fallback">
  For environments where the OAuth callback can't reach Cursor (some sandboxed setups), set the `Authorization` header explicitly with a Personal Access Token:

  ```json theme={null}
  {
    "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](https://app.trypost.it).
</Accordion>

## Example prompts

Use Cursor's AI chat or inline editing to interact with TryPost:

```
Create a new post for all my connected accounts
```

```
Show me all my signatures
```

```
What workspace am I connected to?
```
