Cursor IDE Setup

Last updated: July 9, 2026

When you connect the WEEGLOO MCP to Cursor IDE, an LLM agent inside the IDE performs the work a person used to do in the content studio, driven only by natural-language requests. Describe in words what you want to build, and the agent directly handles tasks such as designing a Content Type and creating Content or Media.

Prerequisites

Running the install commands below requires Node.js. First, check whether it is installed and whether the version is 18 or higher with the following commands.

Terminal
node --version # v18 or higher is OK npx --version # OK if a version is printed

If Node.js is installed but npx is not, update npm to the latest version with the command below. Updating npm installs npx along with it.

Terminal
npm install -g npm@latest

If Node.js is not installed or its version is too old, install Node.js using the method that fits your operating system.

Terminal
brew install node

If you do not have Homebrew, install it first from brew.sh, or download Node.js directly from nodejs.org.

Cursor must also be installed. If you do not have it yet, you can get it from Cursor download.

Connecting

Choose the install location, then follow the guide below. To connect only a single project, choose Project; to use it across all projects, choose Global.
