Use Xpoz from Cursor

Add the Xpoz MCP server to Cursor and query Twitter/X, Instagram, TikTok, and Reddit from inside your IDE.

What is Cursor?

Cursor is an AI-first IDE built on VS Code, with native MCP support. Adding Xpoz gives Cursor agent and chat modes natural-language access to social data, so you can build brand monitoring, lead gen, and social listening workflows without leaving your editor.

Configuration

Add an entry under mcpServers. Replace YOUR_XPOZ_API_TOKEN with your token from the Xpoz dashboard.

File: ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xpoz": {
      "url": "https://mcp.xpoz.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_XPOZ_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

For the latest syntax, see the official Cursor MCP documentation.

Test query

Run this to confirm the connection works:

Use the xpoz MCP server to search Twitter for the latest posts about "Cursor IDE" and summarize the top themes.

Example prompts

Brand monitoring

Cross-platform mention sweep from Cursor

Using xpoz, scan Twitter/X, Reddit, and Instagram for mentions of "YourBrand" in the last 7 days. Return a markdown report with counts by platform and the three most-engaged posts per platform.

Lead generation

Buying-signal discovery inside the IDE

Using xpoz, find Reddit and Twitter posts from the last 30 days where someone is asking for alternatives to CompetitorName. For each, return platform, author, post link, and a one-line lead qualification note.

Troubleshooting

The xpoz tools do not show up in Cursor

Open Cursor Settings → MCP and confirm the xpoz server is listed and marked Enabled. Restart Cursor after editing mcp.json.

401 Unauthorized errors

Generate a fresh token at https://www.xpoz.ai/get-token and update the Authorization header in mcp.json.

MCP spec for Cursor differs from this template

Cursor's MCP support is evolving — if `headers` is rejected, check the official Cursor MCP docs (linked below the config) for the current field names.
