How to Use the 15Five MCP in Cursor

Q: Can Cursor read my 15Five OKRs?

Yes. The agent calls the listobjectives tool to fetch company and individual goals. It injects that text directly into your chat context.

Connect the 15Five MCP Server to Cursor and let your AI agent read team check-ins while you code.

Read 15Five check-ins in Cursor

`list_checkins` feeds recent employee status reports into your editor context. You can ask Cursor's agent to cross-reference a developer's weekly update with their recent commits. Pulling OKRs works the same way. Firing `list_objectives` lets the AI read your team's quarterly goals and suggest code comments that align with those targets.

Trigger High Fives from the IDE

`send_high_five` pushes public praise to your colleagues without leaving your code. You finish a tough pair programming session and tell the agent to thank your partner. Reading the latest company shoutouts is handled by `list_high_fives`. The agent pulls the feed so you know who shipped what while you were heads-down in your terminal.

Query departments via MCP Server

`list_departments` exposes team rosters to your AI client. Cursor reads the department IDs to understand which engineers belong to the frontend or backend groups. Grabbing exact employee IDs happens through `list_users`. The agent fetches the active roster to ensure it tags the correct email address for any subsequent API actions.
