How to Connect Cursor to Chatfuel

Cursor connects to Chatfuel through the Chatfuel MCP server, added with the Add to Cursor button or in ~/.cursor/mcp.json. After you sign in with your Chatfuel account, the Cursor agent can manage your bots or, with the developer link, build on the full Chatfuel GraphQL API.

How to add Chatfuel with one click

Open mcp.chatfuel.com, find Cursor and click Add to Cursor, then confirm in Cursor. Sign in to Chatfuel when Cursor asks, or click Connect next to the server in Cursor's MCP settings.

How to add Chatfuel in mcp.json

Add the server to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chatfuel": { "url": "https://mcp.chatfuel.com/panel" }
  }
}

To also give the agent the full Chatfuel GraphQL API, add the developer server next to it:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chatfuel": { "url": "https://mcp.chatfuel.com/panel" },
    "chatfuel-api": { "url": "https://mcp.chatfuel.com/panel/api" }
  }
}

Then sign in to each server when Cursor asks. The two servers are separate connections. What each one offers is in MCP or API MCP: which Chatfuel link to use.

How to connect Cursor with a CLI token

If Cursor can't sign in through the browser, add the CLI token as a header:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chatfuel": {
      "url": "https://mcp.chatfuel.com/panel",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <token>" }
    }
  }
}

Replace <token> with your Chatfuel CLI token and keep the file out of shared repositories. Where to create the token is in Chatfuel MCP sign-in, read-only access and CLI token.

What can I ask the Cursor agent?

Examples:

• "Show me the AI automations of my bot."
• "Add FAQ entries from this price list."
• "Write a script that lists my Qualified leads and saves them to a CSV file" (with chatfuel-api).

More requests are in Chatfuel MCP example prompts. An overview of Cursor with Chatfuel is on chatfuel.com/mcp/cursor.

Common issues

Cursor shows the Chatfuel server in red or as needing login

Open Cursor's MCP settings and click Connect next to the server, then sign in to Chatfuel again. The sign-in may have expired or been revoked in Connected apps in the Chatfuel dashboard.

Signing in to chatfuel didn't connect chatfuel-api

Each server needs its own sign-in. Click Connect next to chatfuel-api as well.
