Cursor

Schedule social media posts from Cursor.

Add Simplified to Cursor and the Agent can turn the code you just wrote into a post, a graphic and a schedule.

  • One config entry, global or per project, wherever you want it
  • Sign in once, then the Agent can use every Simplified tool
  • Ask for drafts first and approve every post before it goes live
Get Started
Your setup prompt

Read https://docs.simplified.com/setup.md and set up Simplified in this client. Reuse existing connections and skills, complete the setup steps you can perform, and guide me through sign-in when needed. Verify access without creating content or spending credits.

  1. Copy the prompt (the Add to Cursor button does it too).
  2. Open a new Agent chat in Cursor and paste it.
  3. Send it. Cursor sets up Simplified and walks you through sign-in.
Or edit the config yourself
Connect

Add Simplified to Cursor with one config entry.

Add Simplified as an MCP server in Cursor and sign in with your Simplified account. You get everything Simplified can do, from images and video to scheduling and analytics.

1

Add the server.

Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json for all projects, or .cursor/mcp.json in a project, and add a simplified entry with the server URL.

2

Sign in and enable.

Open Cursor's MCP settings, enable Simplified and finish the sign-in in your browser. There is no password or key to paste into the chat.

3

Check it, then ask.

Start a new Agent chat and ask it to identify your workspace and list your teamspaces. Then ask for your first post.

Put it in ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project, or .cursor/mcp.json inside one project. If the file already has an mcpServers object, add the simplified entry to it. Want reusable instructions too? Skills are optional and do not replace the sign-in. Read the full setup guide

Your Agent chat, wired to every channel.

Once Simplified is on, the Agent can reach each social account linked to your workspace. There is nothing to set up per platform.

What the Cursor Agent can do with Simplified

The Agent already knows your code. Simplified lets it talk about it in public.

A post from the branch you are on

Ask the Agent to look at the diff or the files you changed and draft a post about it. Simplified makes the image and sets the time.

Write for different readers

A thread for developers, a friendly update for customers and a short note for the community, all from the same change.

On-brand release visuals

Banners and short clips use your Brand Kit, so they do not look like they came from a template.

Docs and README into posts

Open a docs file, ask for a series that explains the feature, and review it right in the chat.

Plan the week from the editor

Ask for a calendar of drafts around what is shipping, then move posts around in plain English.

See what worked

Ask how past posts performed and what to try next, without leaving the editor.

Approve before anything is live

Follow Cursor's approval prompts when the Agent uses a tool, or ask for drafts and publish when you are ready.

What does Simplified add to Cursor?

Cursor is where the code gets written. With Simplified connected, the same Agent chat can also write the announcement, make the image and schedule it, so you do not switch tabs between the feature and the launch.

Sign in once in your browser. There is no key to paste into the chat.

  1. The Agent reads and writes

    Looks at the diff or the docs and drafts the posts.

  2. Simplified designs and posts

    Images and video in your Brand Kit, the calendar, scheduling to 13 platforms and analytics.

  3. You review

    Follow the approval prompts, or ask for drafts first.

What is the Simplified connector for Cursor?

A hosted MCP server you add to Cursor with one config entry. Once Simplified is enabled in the MCP settings, the Agent can use its tools to create images and video, plan a calendar and schedule posts.

Put the entry in ~/.cursor/mcp.json to use it in every project, or in .cursor/mcp.json inside one project. Teammates who open that project get the same entry and sign in with their own Simplified account. Never commit an API key to a project file.

Global or project config?

Cursor reads MCP settings from two places. Pick the one that fits how you work.

Global: ~/.cursor/mcp.json

Simplified is available in every project you open. Best when you post from your own projects.

Project: .cursor/mcp.json

The entry lives with the repo. Best for a team that wants one setup, since each person signs in on their own.

Cloud agents

They do not inherit your local Cursor config, so add Simplified through their own MCP controls.

Skills

Optional reusable instructions that help the Agent use the tools well. They do not replace the connection or the sign-in.

The connector is the same everywhere. Open another tool to see how it sets up there.

If Cursor is not using Simplified

Cursor does not load the config

Check the JSON syntax and make sure you edited the right file: the global one in your home folder or the one inside the project. Save it and reload Cursor.

The Simplified tools are turned off

Open Cursor's MCP settings, enable the Simplified connection and its tools, then start a new Agent chat. A saved config entry alone does not load the tools.

Simplified shows up twice

Check both the global and the project config. Keep the entry you want and remove the other.

Cursor cannot see my channels

Connect your social accounts in Simplified first. An empty list does not mean the connection failed: it usually means no accounts are linked to that workspace yet. Also check that you picked the right teamspace.

Questions before you connect

And some things you'd ask us.

How do I add Simplified to Cursor?

Add a simplified entry with the server URL https://apikit.simplified.com/mcp to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (one project). Then open Cursor's MCP settings, enable Simplified and sign in. Start a new Agent chat and ask it to identify your workspace and list your teamspaces to check it worked.

Read the full setup guide

Should the config be global or per project?

Global (~/.cursor/mcp.json) makes Simplified available in every project. Per project (.cursor/mcp.json) keeps it with the repo, which suits a team: everyone gets the same entry and signs in with their own Simplified account. If the file already has an mcpServers object, add the simplified entry to it.

Can the Cursor Agent post to my social accounts?

Yes. Once Simplified is connected and enabled, the Agent can draft, schedule and publish to the 13 platforms linked in your Simplified workspace: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, X, Google Business Profile, Mastodon, Reddit and Telegram. It only reaches accounts you have already connected.

What can the Agent make for me?

The Agent writes the copy. Simplified generates images and video in your Brand Kit, builds a content calendar, schedules the posts and reads analytics for your connected accounts, so you can ask what worked and what to try next.

Do I need an API key?

No. You sign in to your Simplified account in the browser and approve access. If OAuth fails, API-key sign-in is the fallback, and you should never commit a key to a project config file.

Will Cursor publish without asking me first?

Follow Cursor's approval prompts when the Agent uses a tool. If you would rather review everything yourself, ask for drafts and approve them when you are ready.

Can the Agent use images from my project?

Not by file path. The hosted Simplified server cannot read files on your computer, so a local path will not upload. The asset uploads guide covers how to get media into Simplified.

Does this work with Cursor's cloud agents?

Cloud agents do not inherit your local Cursor config, so they need Simplified added through their own MCP controls.

Cursor does not show the Simplified tools. What should I check?

A saved config entry or a finished skills install does not prove the tools are loaded. Check the JSON and which file you edited, enable the connection in the MCP settings, then start a new Agent chat and ask it to list your workspace and teamspaces. If the list of accounts is empty, connect your social accounts in Simplified first.

Is this different from using Simplified with Claude Code or Codex?

It is the same connector. This page covers Cursor. Terminal agents like Claude Code and Codex have their own pages, and the developer setup page lists the rest.
