Cursor + Wahlu
Wahlu is one place for your social media, and Cursor's agent can use it too. Run the Wahlu MCP server on your computer with an API key, then draft launch posts from the work in your editor, upload media from your project and check your schedule.

Cursor runs Wahlu's MCP server on your computer, using a Wahlu API key you create.
In the Wahlu app, create an API key under Settings → API Keys in your workspace, with only the permissions and brands you need.
Add the Wahlu configuration to ~/.cursor/mcp.json and paste the key into it yourself.
Restart Cursor, or refresh its MCP servers, so it starts the Wahlu server.
Checked against the Cursor docs on 27 September 2026. Menus can change; if a step doesn't match what you see, follow the vendor's current instructions.

}Cursor can't sign in to the hosted URL yet, because it doesn't support Client ID Metadata Documents. The local server runs on your computer. Available tools depend on the installed version, so check the local MCP server notes before relying on a tool listed for the hosted server. Keep the key out of project files that are committed.
The local server acts with the key you give it, so create one just for this agent.
When you create the key in Settings → API Keys, choose which brands it can use.
Leave publishing off if you'd rather approve and publish from Wahlu yourself.
Revoke the key in Wahlu to cut the agent off. Your social accounts stay connected.
Example prompts and the steps to expect. These are illustrations, not recorded conversations.
Example prompt
“Use this feature summary to draft a Facebook post. Upload the screenshot in public/launch.png and leave the post for review.”
Cursor uploads the file with upload_media_from_file, creates the draft and holds its schedule for your approval.
Example prompt
“Check this draft for publishing problems. Tell me what needs fixing before you schedule anything.”
The readiness check changes nothing. Cursor explains any blockers and the next step.
What Cursor can prepare on each network, with example prompts and each network's limits.
How your media gets to Wahlu.
The local server can upload a file straight from your computer with upload_media_from_file, so screenshots and videos in your project don't need a public link.
Every Wahlu plan includes agent access, through MCP and the API. You choose the workspace, brands and permissions each connection gets, and can disconnect it at any time.
Agents create schedules at pending_review unless you've told them to publish. A held schedule can't publish until you approve it in Wahlu or ask an agent with Publishing permission to approve it.
Publishing is separate from Manage your schedule. Leave it unticked and nothing your agent schedules can go out on its own.
preflight_draft reports anything that would stop a post, such as media the network won't accept or a caption that's too long, without changing anything.
Use the app for queues, draft media and platform settings, and connecting social accounts. Agents can change the name or caption of an unused draft and approve held schedules with the right permissions.
Every tool, the permissions it needs and the clients that work.
Give your agent wahlu.com/connect and it follows the steps for you.
