Tutorial · Cursor + MCP

Schedule your posts with Cursor, start to finish

In 10 minutes: add PurrPlan as an MCP server in Cursor, ask the agent to prepare your week, approve drafts in the calendar.

In short — to schedule posts with Cursor: create a token on your PurrPlan workspace’s “API & MCP” page, paste the MCP config into Cursor (url https://app.purrplan.ai/api/mcp + Bearer), then ask “Prepare 5 posts for my week, drafts only”. You approve in the calendar. 10 minutes flat.

The 5 steps

1

Grab your URL and token

In PurrPlan, open your workspace’s “API & MCP” page. You’ll find the server URL (app.purrplan.ai/api/mcp), your workspace id and a button to create a token. Pick the read + write + ai scopes: read the calendar, create drafts, generate text.

2

Open Cursor’s MCP settings

In Cursor: Settings → MCP (or Features → MCP). Paste the JSON block below — replace $TOKEN.

Cursor MCP → add server URL https://app.purrplan.ai/api/mcp + header Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN
3

Paste the MCP config

Paste this block into Cursor’s MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "purrplan": {
      "url": "https://app.purrplan.ai/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer $TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}
4

Ask for your week

Open a conversation and paste this prompt — adapt the topic, date and networks:

Prepare 5 posts about [your topic] for the week of [date], one per day Monday to Friday at 9am, time zone [your tz]. Use my accounts connected to PurrPlan (list them first to confirm). Adapt each idea to the network: detailed for LinkedIn, concise for X, conversational for Threads. Create drafts only, without scheduling or publishing, and show me the proposed slots.

Approve in the calendar

The Cursor agent confirms each draft. Open your PurrPlan calendar: the posts wait for your review. Nothing goes out without your approval.

Then you can ask it

“What’s scheduled this week?”

list_posts reads your calendar — Cursor answers with contents, statuses and dates.

“Move Thursday’s post to 6pm”

update_draft_post moves the slot without touching the text.

“Attach this image to the LinkedIn post”

upload_media_from_url ingests media from a public URL.

“Answer the pending comments”

The inbox:read scopes bring your unified inbox into the conversation.

🔒 The guardrail that matters

Give Cursor a token limited to the scopes it needs. The safe recipe: drafts only (the prompt above requires it), human approval in the calendar, and a token you can revoke in one click. A read-only agent (read scope) can never publish anything.

Frequent questions

Cursor vs Claude Code?+

Same PurrPlan MCP server; only the client UI differs. The 18 tools (list_accounts, create_draft_post, plan_my_week…) show up in Cursor once the config is pasted.

What about Claude or ChatGPT?+

Same server. Tutorials: /schedule-posts-with-claude/ and /schedule-posts-with-chatgpt/.

Can Cursor publish directly?+

Yes, if its token has the write scope and it passes a scheduled_at date. We recommend the draft → approval flow, especially at first.

How much does it cost?+

MCP is included from the Pro plan (€19/month) and in the Founders lifetime license (API + MCP + extension). If Cursor writes the copy itself, no PurrPlan AI credits are used.
