Connect Cursor to Feedqube (mcp.json)
Cursor reads MCP servers from an mcp.json file. Feedqube is a remote server, so you only need its address and, if you prefer not to sign in through the browser, an API key.
Add the server
- Create an API key in Feedqube under Settings → AI apps → API keys. Copy it when it is shown: for your security it is shown only once. Treat it like a password and never commit it to a shared repository.
- Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json (for all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json in a project, and add Feedqube as below.
- Save the file and restart Cursor, then check that Feedqube shows as connected in the MCP section of Cursor Settings.
{
"mcpServers": {
"feedqube": {
"url": "https://app.feedqube.com/api/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer fq_YOUR_KEY" }
}
}
}Keep the key private
Prefer the global file (~/.cursor/mcp.json). If you use a project file, add it to .gitignore so the key is never committed.
What stays safe
Posts created by an AI app are always saved as drafts. Nothing is published until you approve it in Feedqube, and you can disconnect the app at any time in Settings → AI apps.
If something doesn't work
- Feedqube's tools don't show up: turn Feedqube on in the chat's tools or connectors menu, then start a new chat.
- The sign-in window doesn't open: allow pop-ups for the AI app, or try its web version.
- It can't connect: check that the address is exactly https://app.feedqube.com/api/mcp, and that your Feedqube trial or plan is active.
- It can read but not create drafts: the app (or the API key) is set to read-only. Change it in Feedqube under Settings → AI apps.
- An API key is rejected: it may have been deleted or copied with a space. Create a new one in Settings → AI apps → API keys.
