// Cursor + seenpaid over MCP
Post to social media from Cursor
Cursor is the AI code editor. Cursor speaks MCP, so it can drive seenpaid from the editor. Useful in practice for the same reason Claude Code is: the moment you finish a feature is the moment you have something to announce, and you are already in the window.
Connect it
Create a key in Settings — it starts with sp_ — then:
{
"mcpServers": {
"seenpaid": {
"url": "https://api.seenpaid.com/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer sp_your_api_key" }
}
}
}Things worth asking it
- ›Schedule a changelog post to X and Bluesky for this release.
- ›What did last week’s launch post earn?
The last one is the part other social MCP servers cannot answer. They publish; they have no connection to your payments, so the agent is blind to what anything earned. See the tools that read revenue →
Questions
Can Cursor post to social media?
Not on its own — it has no credentials for your accounts. Connected to seenpaid's MCP server it can, across all 23 platforms seenpaid supports, and it can also read back what each post earned.
How do I connect Cursor to seenpaid?
Create an API key in seenpaid Settings, then point Cursor at https://api.seenpaid.com/mcp with that key as a Bearer token. The exact snippet is on this page.
What can Cursor actually do once it is connected?
All 50 seenpaid tools: schedule and publish posts, check per-platform limits before publishing, read analytics, and read revenue attributed to individual posts through Stripe.
Does this cost extra?
No. MCP access is included on every seenpaid plan and in the 7-day trial.
