How to Use the Criteo Retail Media API MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I install the Criteo Retail Media API server in Cursor?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root and add the server configuration. Cursor will automatically spin up the MCP connection so your editor's agent can access the tools.

Q: How does the editor find campaigns by name?

The agent runs searchretailcampaignsbyname via the MCP connection behind the scenes when you ask about a specific campaign, returning the exact ID and settings.

Build retail tools and manage Criteo campaigns directly from your Cursor editor using live API data.

Generate code using live Criteo MCP Server data

This MCP server lets your editor pull actual campaign structures using `list_retail_campaigns` and `get_retail_campaign_details` in real time. Stop writing code against stale mocks or fake JSON payloads. Your AI agent writes working code because it sees the exact schema your Criteo account returns. It makes building custom reporting dashboards or automation scripts incredibly fast.

Debug line items and keywords in the editor

Your AI agent calls `list_line_items` and `list_line_item_keywords` to inspect active targeting without leaving your editor. Track down campaign issues without leaving your workspace. You can ask the editor to analyze your keyword distribution and write a script to optimize bids. Having the live API response right next to your source files cuts out the context switching.

Track budgets and retail partners while coding

This server runs `list_retail_budgets` and `list_retailers` to check your live financial guardrails. Keep an eye on your spending limits and active retail partners while you work. This lets you build budget-alerting systems or retailer-specific filters with confidence. You know exactly what data format to expect because the agent pulls it live as you build.
