Cursor

Available

Connect FeedNest to Cursor IDE for AI-powered feed access directly in your editor.

Prerequisites

Setup

  1. 1

    Create the configuration file

    Create .cursor/mcp.json in your project root for project-level config, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for global config.

  2. 2

    Add the FeedNest server

    Paste the configuration below. Replace fn_live_... with your API key.

  3. 3

    Restart Cursor

    A full restart is required after changing MCP configuration. Use Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P → Reload Window or quit and reopen Cursor.

Cursor MCP configuration

.cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "feednest": {
      "url": "https://mcp.feednest.com",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer fn_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Use environment variables

Cursor supports env var interpolation with ${env:FEEDNEST_API_KEY} syntax. Set the variable in your shell profile and use this config instead:

With environment variable

Using environment variable (recommended)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "feednest": {
      "url": "https://mcp.feednest.com",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:FEEDNEST_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

No type field needed

Do not add a "type" field. Cursor auto-detects the transport from the presence of "url".

Verify your connection

After setup, try one of these prompts to confirm everything is working:

  • →“What are my unread articles?”
  • →“Summarize my latest saved articles”
  • →“How many feeds am I subscribed to?”

Troubleshooting

Tools not appearing after adding config

Cursor requires a full restart (not just reload). Quit Cursor completely and reopen it.

Authentication errors

Verify your API key is correct and your Authorization header includes "Bearer " (with a space).
