AI agent
Cursor + CatCaster
Publish next to your codebase
Cursor agents discover CatCaster over OAuth when you add the remote MCP URL—no API key required for OAuth-capable setups.
Example chat
via CatCaster MCP · Cursor
How to connect Cursor
- Add the CatCaster server URL to .cursor/mcp.json (see snippet below) or Cursor Settings → MCP.
- When Cursor requests authentication, complete CatCaster browser sign-in and consent.
- In Agent mode, ask to list_channels before create_post.
- Settings → Developer in CatCaster documents OAuth and API key fallbacks.
CatCaster MCP server URL
https://www.catcaster.com/api/mcp
Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json)
{ "mcpServers": { "catcaster": { "url": "https://www.catcaster.com/api/mcp" } } }
OAuth sign-in is recommended. Developer API keys in Settings → Developer work for clients that cannot open the browser consent flow. Keep a human in the loop before publish_post and send_inbox_reply.

Channels agents can reach
Example prompts
- What MCP tools does CatCaster expose? Summarize mutating tools that need my confirmation.
- Create drafts for Instagram and Facebook from the same caption; validate both.
Agents should run validate_post and show drafts before scheduling or publishing. CatCaster MCP does not generate images or video—attach media the agent already has via upload_media or HTTPS URLs on create_post.
Frequently asked questions
- Is CatCaster preinstalled in ChatGPT or Claude?
- No. You add CatCaster as a custom MCP connector (or use OAuth from a client that supports remote MCP). Sign in with your CatCaster account when the client opens the consent flow.
- Will the agent publish without asking me?
- CatCaster expects a human in the loop. Agents should run validate_post and show drafts before schedule_post or publish_post. Inbox send_inbox_reply should only run after you explicitly approve the draft.
- Can agents generate images or video inside MCP?
- Not through CatCaster MCP today. Agents can attach media they already have via upload_media (HTTPS URL) or URLs on create_post. Image and video generation in the product UI is separate from MCP.
- What platforms can agents reach?
- Any channel already connected in your workspace—Instagram, Facebook, Threads, TikTok, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, Pinterest, and your CatCaster blog, subject to each platform’s API limits documented on our platform guides.
