Can Cursor post to social media?

Yes. With xpost added as an MCP server, Cursor’s agent can draft and schedule posts for 9 networks. You can see every post in xpost, or turn on approvals so posts wait for your review.

Do I need an API key for Cursor?

No. Cursor opens the xpost sign-in page in your browser; you log in once. End the connection any time from Settings.

Is it safe to let an editor agent post for me?

Yes. You can see every post Cursor creates in xpost, get a link when it goes live, and turn on approvals whenever you want to review posts before publishing.

Does the Cursor MCP server cost extra?

No. The connector is included in every xpost plan, with no extra fee and no usage meter.

Post to social media from Cursor.

Add xpost as an MCP server in Cursor, sign in once, and ask the agent for a post — so your launch post is written next to the code, and you see every post it creates.
