# Connect SnitchFeed to Cursor (MCP setup) (https://snitchfeed.com/docs/ai/cursor)





Connect SnitchFeed to Cursor and its agent can read your mentions, listeners and usage while you work. Cursor talks to SnitchFeed through the [SnitchFeed MCP server](/docs/mcp).

## Before you start [#before-you-start]

* A SnitchFeed account.
* Cursor installed.

## Add SnitchFeed to Cursor [#add-snitchfeed-to-cursor]

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Open `~/.cursor/mcp.json` and add SnitchFeed:

    ```json
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "SnitchFeed": {
          "url": "https://api.snitchfeed.com/mcp"
        }
      }
    }
    ```

    You can also add the same URL from **Cursor Settings → MCP**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Reload the window: press `Cmd+Shift+P` and choose **Reload Window**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    When Cursor first connects, your browser opens a SnitchFeed sign-in page. Sign in and grant access.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Check that it works [#check-that-it-works]

Ask Cursor's agent: "How many keywords am I using in SnitchFeed?" It should answer with your keyword, listener and credit usage.

In SnitchFeed, **Integrations → MCP** lists Cursor under **Connected agents**. Click **Disconnect** there to remove its access.
