Cursor + Wahlu

Post to Facebook from Cursor with Wahlu

Connect Cursor to Wahlu once, then plan, draft and schedule posts for Facebook Pages connected to Wahlu from the Cursor editor. Every schedule can wait for your approval.

What Cursor can prepare on Facebook

  • Page post

    One image or video with a caption.

  • Reel

    One vertical video.

  • Story

    One image or video. Stories don't take a caption.

Ask Cursor for Facebook posts

Example prompts and the steps to expect. These are illustrations, not recorded conversations.

Example prompt

“Summarise the feature summary in this chat as a Facebook Page post for customers, not developers. Use the hero image at its public link and hold the schedule for review.”

Example prompt

“Draft a Facebook Reel from the walkthrough video linked in the feature summary in this chat, then run a readiness check and tell me what needs fixing.”

Example prompt

“Before drafting anything about the feature summary in this chat, show me what's already on the Facebook calendar this week.”

What Wahlu does on Facebook

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

Facebook settings on a draft

Post type
Page post, Reel or Story.

Wahlu posts to Facebook Pages, not personal profiles or groups, and a Page post carries one image or video rather than an album.

The tool calls, in order

  1. 01

    list_targetsFinds the brand's connected Facebook 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 facebook_settings, such as the post type.

  4. 04

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

  5. 05

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

Facebook limits to know

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

Getting images and video to Facebook

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 Facebook.

  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 with Node.js and has the same tools, plus upload_media_from_file for files on that computer. 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 the Wahlu calendar.

Publishing is its own permission

Publish to social accounts 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

Queues, general edits to existing drafts, approvals and connecting social accounts happen in the Wahlu app, not through your agent.
