Cursor setup

Prerequisites

Node.js 20+
API key (sk_live_…)
Built MCP server (npm run build in social0-mcp/)

Configuration

Cursor supports project-level or global MCP config.

Project config (recommended)

Create .cursor/mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "social0": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/social0-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "SOCIAL0_API_KEY": "sk_live_your_key_here",
        "SOCIAL0_API_URL": "https://api.social0.app/v1"
      }
    }
  }
}

Global config

Open Cursor Settings → MCP and add the same server configuration.

Restart Cursor

Reload the window or restart Cursor after saving config.

Verify

In Cursor chat (Agent mode), ask:

Use the Social0 MCP list_accounts tool to show my connected accounts.

Dev mode

Use tsx for development without rebuilding:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "social0": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["tsx", "/absolute/path/to/social0-mcp/src/index.ts"],
      "env": {
        "SOCIAL0_API_KEY": "sk_live_your_key_here",
        "SOCIAL0_MCP_VERBOSE": "true"
      }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Windsurf uses the same stdio MCP config format as Cursor. Copy the .cursor/mcp.json config to Windsurf's MCP settings.
