Mastodon in Cursor, powered by Genfeed
Connect Cursor to Genfeed for Mastodon. Bring your brand context, media tools, and posts into one creative workflow.

01 / Native Cursor install
Your tools.
Now connected.
Open the install link, confirm the Genfeed MCP server in Cursor, and sign in with Genfeed OAuth. This installs the connector; the packaged playbook is available separately in the agent repository.
Packaged Genfeed plugins already include the playbook. Use this skills-only alternative when connecting through MCP without a Genfeed plugin.
Skills-only alternative
npx skills add genfeedai/agentSkills add the Genfeed playbook. To connect your account too, paste the setup prompt into Cursor with local shell access.
Setup prompt
Set up the Genfeed MCP server on this machine, with its agent playbook, for Cursor.
Endpoint: https://mcp.genfeed.ai/mcp
Claude endpoint: https://mcp.genfeed.ai/mcp/claude (the connector for every Claude client).
The Claude endpoint covers brands, drafts, scheduling and analytics. For image, video and audio generation in a Claude client, add the standard endpoint above as a second server named genfeed-media.
Authentication: browser OAuth (no API key required)
Setup reference: https://github.com/genfeedai/agent/blob/main/llms-install.md
Do this end to end:
1. Inspect the selected client's existing Genfeed plugins, skills, and MCP configuration. Preserve unrelated configuration and use the existing Genfeed installation when present. Set up only this client; ask which client to use if you cannot identify it.
2. For Claude Code, install the dedicated content plugin with /plugin install genfeed --marketplace genfeedai/agent (Claude Code 2.1.275 or newer). For Claude chat, Desktop, Cowork and other Claude clients, skip playbook installation and connect through their supported OAuth flow instead. Never run skills add for any Claude client. For non-Claude clients, install the Genfeed playbook with npx skills add genfeedai/agent and select only the intended client in the installer. Skip this step if the playbook is already available through an installed Genfeed plugin, extension, or standalone skill. Installing skills alone does not configure or authenticate MCP.
3. If Genfeed MCP is not already configured, add the remote Streamable HTTP server for the selected client using browser authorization:
- Only if the selected client is Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http genfeed --scope user https://mcp.genfeed.ai/mcp/claude
- Only if the selected client is Codex: codex mcp add genfeed --url 'https://mcp.genfeed.ai/mcp?profile=studio'
- For Codex only, equivalent user-level ~/.codex/config.toml:
[mcp_servers.genfeed]
url = "https://mcp.genfeed.ai/mcp?profile=studio"
For other clients, follow their supported remote MCP configuration. Claude and Cowork use the Claude endpoint, and add the standard endpoint above as a second server named genfeed-media only when the user asks for image, video or audio generation; other clients use the standard endpoint above. Do not duplicate a server provided by an installed plugin.
4. Only for Claude Code: Open /mcp inside Claude Code, select genfeed, and authenticate. Sign in and approve access in your browser, then return to Claude Code.
Only for Codex: Run codex mcp login genfeed if authorization did not open during setup. Sign in and approve access in your browser, then return to Codex.
For other clients, open their OAuth connection flow. Authenticate only the selected client.
5. Ask the user to complete consent in their browser. Never request tokens or passwords in this chat. If authorization is denied or expires, restart the client authorization flow.
6. Verify access with read-only get_account and get_brands calls (list my Genfeed brands); request only the profile section from get_account. A copied command, registered plugin source, or server list entry alone does not verify authorization.
7. Do not generate content, schedule, publish, or resolve approvals during setup. Report skill installation, MCP configuration, and authenticated verification separately, including any remaining user step. Claude requires OAuth. If another client does not support OAuth, direct its user to Genfeed's guided setup for the advanced manual-key path.Genfeed connector URL
https://mcp.genfeed.ai/mcpSign in to Genfeed in your browser. Then ask Cursor to show your brands to check the connection.
Connect your Mastodon account in Genfeed once to make it available to Cursor.
What can you ask Cursor to do on Mastodon?
Ask in plain language. Genfeed holds posts for review before anything goes to Mastodon.
“Draft a Mastodon post for our release notes, under 500 characters.”
“Add alt text to every image before scheduling.”
“Schedule the approved post for tomorrow morning.”

Cursor and Mastodon: frequently asked questions
Can Cursor post to Mastodon?
Yes. Once your Mastodon account is connected in Genfeed, Cursor can draft, schedule, and publish Mastodon posts through the Genfeed MCP server.
Do I need a Mastodon API key?
No. You connect Mastodon in Genfeed once by signing in. Cursor reaches Genfeed over MCP with browser OAuth and never sees your Mastodon credentials.
Does Cursor publish to Mastodon without my approval?
No. Genfeed holds posts for review, and you approve before anything goes to Mastodon, unless you set up a workflow that publishes directly.
How do I connect Cursor to Genfeed?
