Cursor + Wahlu

Post to Discord from Cursor with Wahlu

Connect Cursor to Wahlu once, then plan, draft and schedule posts for Discord servers where you have Manage Server, posting to the channel you choose from the Cursor editor. Every schedule can wait for your approval.

What Wahlu does on Discord

Cursor works through Wahlu's tools, so it can set the Discord options Wahlu supports.

Discord settings on a draft

Post type
A message, or a message with files.
Publish to following servers
In an announcement channel, also send the post to servers that follow it.

Wahlu posts to one channel per server connection and doesn't post embeds, polls or into Discord threads. Discord has no Insights for bots.

The tool calls, in order

  1. 01

    list_targetsFinds the brand's connected Discord account and checks it's ready.

  2. 02

    upload_media_from_file, import_media_from_url or list_mediaBrings in the image or video, or picks one from your media library.

  3. 03

    create_draftCreates the draft with its caption and discord_settings, such as the post type.

  4. 04

    preflight_draftChecks the draft against Discord's rules without changing it.

  5. 05

    create_schedulePuts it on the calendar at pending_review, held for your approval.

Discord limits to know

Wahlu checks these before a post is scheduled, so the agent finds out early.

Getting images and video to Discord

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.

Connect Cursor to Wahlu

Set this up once and Cursor can work on every network you've connected, not just Discord.

  1. 1

    In the Wahlu app, create an API key under Settings → API Keys in your workspace, with only the permissions and brands you need.

  2. 2

    Add the Wahlu configuration to ~/.cursor/mcp.json and paste the key into it yourself.

  3. 3

    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/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wahlu": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@wahlu/mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "WAHLU_API_KEY": "paste-your-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

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.

You stay in control.

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.

Held until you approve

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 its own permission

Publishing is separate from Manage your schedule. Leave it unticked and nothing your agent schedules can go out on its own.

Checked before it's scheduled

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.

Some things stay in the app

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.
