Step 1
Open Settings → Developer
In your Tactic Social account, open Settings and click the Developer tab. You'll see the API Keys section.
Connect Cursor to Tactic Social
Add Tactic Social as an MCP server in Cursor. Authentication uses your API key via an Authorization header — no OAuth flow needed.
Step 2
Click "Create API Key"
Click the green Create API Key button in the top right — a dialog will open to configure your key.
Step 3
Name your key and set permissions
Give your key a name (e.g. My integration key), choose an expiry, and select the permissions you need. Click Create API Key, then copy the key that appears — you'll use it below.
Step 4
Open Cursor Settings → Tools & MCP
In Cursor, open Settings (⌘, on macOS or Ctrl+, on Windows) and navigate to the Tools & MCP section in the sidebar.
Step 5
Click "Add Custom MCP"
Click the Add Custom MCP button to open the MCP server configuration editor.
Step 6
Paste the configuration JSON
Add the following JSON into the configuration, replacing YOUR_API_KEY with the key you copied.
mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"tactic-social": {
"url": "https://api.tacticsocial.com/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}
Step 7
Save — tools appear in the agent panel
Save the file. Cursor will connect to Tactic Social and the available tools will appear in the Cursor Agent panel. You're ready to start scheduling from the editor.
You're connected!
