# Post to Social Media from Cursor

Cursor (coding agent by Anysphere)

Guide: https://lots.social/agents/cursor

Keep product updates beside the work that produced them. Add LotsSocial to Cursor’s MCP configuration to create drafts and schedule posts from your Agent conversation.

Example workflow: Explain the new onboarding flow in this branch as a short founder update. Save LinkedIn and X drafts in LotsSocial, using this screenshot.

**Use the code as context.** Ask Cursor to describe the feature and its user benefit. Give it your screenshot and any launch details that are not in the repository.

**Add the remote MCP server.** Use Cursor’s MCP configuration to add LotsSocial and authenticate. This guide uses the server directly, without a marketplace plugin.

**Stay in the Agent conversation.** Revise the drafts, choose connected accounts and schedule the approved content. Open LotsSocial when you want the visual calendar.

### How do I connect Cursor to LotsSocial?

Follow the Cursor setup below to add https://api.lots.social/mcp. Complete sign-in using the authentication method shown. Ask your agent to list your connected accounts, then save your first post as a draft.

### Is LotsSocial installed as a Cursor plugin?

The documented route here is a custom MCP server in Cursor. Sign in when Cursor asks you to authorize LotsSocial.

### Which social platforms can Cursor schedule posts to through LotsSocial?

Once a compatible connection has write access, LotsSocial provides publishing and scheduling for 12 networks: LinkedIn, Instagram, X, Google Business, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, Threads, TikTok, Pinterest, Bluesky, Mastodon. Connect your accounts first. Formats, media requirements and available analytics vary by platform.

### Can Cursor save social posts as drafts before scheduling?

Yes, through a compatible connection with write tools. Ask for drafts explicitly and review the captions, media and accounts. Drafts remain unscheduled until you ask to schedule them; you choose when to schedule them.

### Will scheduled posts publish after I close Cursor?

Once a post is successfully scheduled in LotsSocial, its publishing queue handles delivery at the chosen time even when your agent is closed. Creating new drafts or running a recurring brief still requires your agent. Check post status for platform rejections or failed deliveries.

### Do I need a subscription to use LotsSocial with Cursor?

No LotsSocial subscription is required. Pick a plan for a fixed monthly price, or pay per connected account with credits, charged daily. Eligible new users receive free starter credits with no card required, valid for 90 days. Media storage is free and purchased credits never expire. Your agent’s own plan or usage fees are separate. Current rates are on the LotsSocial pricing page.

### Can Cursor manage multiple brands with LotsSocial?

Through a compatible connection, your agent can work with brands and their connected accounts inside a workspace. Separate businesses can have separate workspaces. Brands, workspaces, posts and team members are unlimited; connected accounts are covered by your plan or funded with credits.

### The server shows an error

Check the URL ends in /mcp, then reload the server from the Customize page to restart the sign-in.
