Connect PostNext

Connect PostNext to Cursor in three steps

  1. Open your MCP config

    In Cursor, open Settings, then MCP, and add a new global server. Depending on your Cursor version that either opens a form or opens the config file directly; either way the global file is ~/.cursor/mcp.json, and a per-project one is .cursor/mcp.json.

  2. Add the server

    Paste the block below and save. PostNext appears in the MCP list with its tools once Cursor has connected.

    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "postnext": {
      "url": "https://mcp.postnext.io/api"
    }
  }
}

  3. Sign in and use it in Agent mode

    Cursor opens the PostNext sign-in screen on first use; approve it once. The tools are then available to the agent in any chat.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a paid plan?

No. The free plan gives you read access and draft creation. Only get_account_health (the 30-day analytics summary) requires a paid plan: Basic, Pro, Teams or Business.

How do I revoke access?

Disconnect from your AI client's settings, or open your account page on PostNext and remove the client. Tokens also auto-expire after 30 days of inactivity.
