Schedule social posts from Cursor

Connect Cursor to fanout over MCP and its agent can check your connected accounts, draft a post and schedule it across any of the 16 networks fanout supports. Connection is OAuth: no API key to copy or paste for a normal setup. Publishing and other mutating actions ask for your approval before they run.

Connect Cursor to fanout

  1. Add the entry below to .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global).
  2. Cursor discovers OAuth from the server and opens fanout: sign in, Allow access.
  3. Ask Cursor's agent to post or schedule.
  4. Alternative for headless setups: a developer key via "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY" }.
