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_KEY with your Xpoz API key from the dashboard.
File: ~/.cursor/mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"xpoz": {
"url": "https://mcp.xpoz.ai/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_XPOZ_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}For the latest syntax, see the official Cursor MCP documentation.
