Why this matters
Cursor speaks MCP natively. Engineers and PMs who already write code in Cursor can manage their marketing stack alongside it — adding a contact while writing a webhook handler, scheduling a campaign while writing the React Email template, debugging a segment by reading the audit log.
What you get
- MCP support is first-class in Cursor — no plugin marketplace required.
- Same API key works for the REST API, MCP server, and CLI tools.
- Cursor's composer can chain ReachOut tool calls with file edits — write the template and schedule the send in one prompt.
- Every change is auditable in ReachOut's tenant log with the agent session ID.
Setup in 4 steps
- Generate a ReachOut API key. Studio → Settings → API keys → Create. Copy the key.
- Add the MCP server in Cursor settings. Cursor → Settings → MCP → Add server. Set the transport to "http" and point at https://reachout-pulse-api.usereachout.com/mcp. Add the bearer token in headers.
- Reload the workspace. Cursor picks up the MCP server within ~5 seconds. ReachOut tools appear under the / menu in the composer.
- Try a chained prompt. Ask: "create a contact for jane@acme.com and add her to the engaged_30d segment." Cursor calls create_contact then segments.add — all logged.
