Cursor IDE Setup
Last updated: July 3, 2026
Once you connect WEEGLOO MCP to the Cursor IDE, the LLM agent inside the IDE performs the work that a person used to do in the content studio, driven only by natural-language requests. Describe what you want to build, and the agent designs a Content Type and creates Content or Media directly.
There are three ways to connect. Adding it with one click of a button is the fastest, the installer tool also installs Skills and Rules alongside it, and you can edit the configuration file yourself. The result is the same, so pick whichever is more convenient.
Before You Start
You need the following to connect.
- Cursor IDE: The latest version is recommended.
- Personal Access Token: Used for authentication. A Personal Access Token is the key an account uses to call the API with its own permissions. How to issue one is covered in Issue a Personal Access Token.
- Node.js 18 or later: Required to run the installer tool and the file-transfer server (
weegloo-upload).
The MCP server address, the group distinction, and the role of the weegloo-upload server are covered in MCP.
Add with One Click
If Cursor is installed, just clicking the links below adds the MCP server to Cursor. Clicking opens Cursor, and once you confirm the installation, it is registered.
- Add weegloo: Adds the
weeglooserver that creates, reads, and modifies resources. - Add weegloo-upload: Adds the
weegloo-uploadserver that handles files.
For weegloo, after adding it you only need to check the connection status in the MCP tab. For weegloo-upload, put your issued Personal Access Token into the token placeholder (<Personal Access Token>) in the added configuration.
To install Skills and Rules as well, use Connect in One Pass with the Installer Tool below.
Connect in One Pass with the Installer Tool
With the installer tool, the configuration file is filled in automatically just by answering its questions.
-
Open a terminal in the Cursor IDE.
-
Run the following command.
npx weegloo@latest -
On the screen that asks which environment to connect, choose
Cursor. -
Choose what to install. Select what you need from MCP server, Skills, and Rules.
-
Enter your Personal Access Token.
-
Choose the MCP server group to use. The differences between groups are covered in MCP.
When the installation finishes, check the connection status in the MCP tab.
Connect by Editing the Configuration File Directly
To connect by editing the configuration file directly, follow these steps.
-
Open the settings screen in the Cursor IDE. You can also open it with a keyboard shortcut.
- macOS:
Cmd + Shift + J - Windows / Linux:
Ctrl + Shift + J
- macOS:
-
In the settings screen, click the MCP tab.
-
Add the configuration below.
{ "mcpServers": { "weegloo": { "type": "http", "url": "https://ai.weegloo.com/mcp" }, "weegloo-upload": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "weegloo-upload"], "env": { "UPLOAD_API_URL": "https://upload.weegloo.com/v1", "AUTH_BEARER_TOKEN": "<Personal Access Token>" } } } } -
Change the
urlof theweeglooserver to suit your purpose. If you need all tools, usehttps://ai.weegloo.com/mcp?group=all. The differences between groups are covered in MCP. -
In the
weegloo-uploadserver'sAUTH_BEARER_TOKENvalue, put the issued Personal Access Token in place of<Personal Access Token>. Since the actual token is stored as-is in the configuration file, be careful not to publish this file externally or upload it to a shared repository. -
Save the configuration, return to the MCP tab, and check the server connection status.
When the weegloo server connection shows as active, the connection succeeded. Now you can ask the Cursor IDE agent to create a Space or a Content Type.
