Setup

How to add the Xholic MCP server to Cursor

Connect your X account to Xholic first (one click with X's official sign-in, during the free trial). Then:

01
Step 1: Add Xholic to mcp.json
Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project, or .cursor/mcp.json in one project.
~/.cursor/mcp.json
```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xholic": {
      "url": "https://api.xholic.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```
Step 2: Approve the sign-in
Reload Cursor. It opens Xholic in your browser: pick what Cursor may do and which X accounts it can use, then approve.
Step 3: Ask the agent
In the agent panel, ask: "Use Xholic: what should I post today?"

About Cursor

What is Cursor?

Cursor is an AI code editor by Anysphere, built on VS Code. Its agent can read your codebase, run commands and use tools from MCP servers, including remote servers over HTTP with OAuth sign-in.

Agent in your editor
Cursor's agent works across your whole repo and can use MCP tools while it does.
Global or per project
~/.cursor/mcp.json applies everywhere; .cursor/mcp.json applies to one project.
OAuth
Cursor opens your browser to approve Xholic, so no key sits in the config file.

FAQs

Cursor and Xholic: questions

Setup, safety and pricing for using Xholic in Cursor.

Should I add Xholic globally or per project?

Globally, in ~/.cursor/mcp.json, unless a project needs different X accounts. Each connection can be limited to the accounts you tick when you approve it.

Cursor doesn't show the Xholic tools. What should I check?

Open Cursor's MCP settings and check that xholic is enabled and signed in. If it shows an error, reload Cursor and approve the sign-in again.

Is Xholic free to use with Cursor?

Xholic has a 7-day free trial with no card needed. After that, the MCP server, API and CLI are included in every plan, from $19 a month. Cursor does the writing on its own plan, so Xholic doesn't charge for its AI.

Does Cursor need my X password?

No. You connect your X account to Xholic once through X's official sign-in. Cursor then signs in to Xholic through your browser, so it never sees your X password or a key.

Can Cursor post to X without asking me?

Only if you allow it. When you approve Cursor you choose what it can do: read, write drafts and lists, and publish. Untick Publish and it asks you first with a one-click link. In apps that can show a confirmation, every post and DM waits for your yes and shows exactly what goes out. Authentication and permissions

Which X accounts can Cursor use?

Only the ones you tick when you approve it, with one of them as the default. You can change that or disconnect Cursor anytime in Xholic under Settings → API / MCP / CLI, and everything it does is logged there.

Works with your other AI too

Use Xholic in every agent you use

One Xholic account works in all of them at once, with the same voice, memory and queue. People who use Cursor often also connect Claude Code, VS Code and Windsurf.
