How to Use the Cosmic MCP in Cursor

Q: How does the Cosmic MCP Server run inside Cursor?

Add the MCP server to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root. Once configured, switch your chat to Agent mode so it can call tools like listbucketobjects directly.

Q: Can Cursor modify live production data using Cosmic?

Yes, Cursor can make live changes. It uses patchcmsobject to edit draft values and wipecmsobject to delete document rows, so make sure to review the agent's proposed plan before giving permission.

Q: How do I inspect media assets in Cosmic using Cursor?

Ask the agent to check your assets. It will run listuploadedmedia to fetch the file details, allowing you to quickly reference the correct image IDs in your code.

Perplexity

Generate typed code from active Cosmic schemas in Cursor.

Running `get_schema_details` and `list_schema_types` lets your agent pull the exact shape of your CMS fields directly into Cursor. This MCP Server feeds those live schema rules directly into the editor. Your agent writes accurate TypeScript interfaces based on actual production types, saving you from runtime bugs.

Create and update CMS drafts during active coding sessions.

Your agent calls `create_cms_object` to insert a fresh test draft or runs `patch_cms_object` to tweak live values. The editor uses these tools to modify your headless environment on the fly. You see how your code handles fresh content updates instantly.

Query bucket layouts and media assets inside Cursor.

Your agent uses `list_bucket_objects` and `get_media_asset` to verify image paths and routing spaces. It inspects the media arrays using `list_uploaded_media` to make sure your image components are pulling the correct dimensions and file formats.

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
