Perplexity

Inject live developer contacts into Cursor code files

The `list_contacts` tool fetches your actual Google Contacts directory directly into your active coding environment. Instead of writing mock arrays or hardcoding stale emails for test scripts, your agent pulls real names and email addresses from your account. This ensures you build and test your applications with realistic data schemas. You can quickly populate database seeds or mock user lists without leaving your editor.

Search and fetch contact metadata in Agent mode

The `search_contacts` tool allows you to find specific team members or client records right from the Cursor chat sidebar. When writing notification services or mailing scripts, you can ask the editor's agent to look up a user's details using a simple query string. The agent runs the query, retrieves the matching record with `get_contact`, and inserts the exact payload structure into your code. This eliminates syntax errors caused by guessing API response shapes.

Manage testing groups using this MCP Server

The `get_contact_group` and `list_contact_groups` tools let you query specific labels and segments to test group-based features. If you are coding a feature that sends updates to a specific department, you can verify your logic against actual groups. Connecting this MCP Server to your editor lets you write integration tests that match your real-world directory structure. It makes debugging communication workflows incredibly fast.

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".
