How to Use the Gupshup Messaging MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I add Gupshup Messaging to my Cursor workspace?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your repository root. Add the MCP server under the mcpServers object with your Gupshup API keys as environment variables.

Q: Can Cursor generate code based on Gupshup Messaging tool outputs?

Yes, Cursor's agent mode inspects the output of gettemplateinfo to write precise, type-safe integration code for your backend.

Q: How does Cursor handle Gupshup Messaging interactive buttons?

The editor calls sendinteractivemessage with up to three buttons. You can write the button logic in your code and test the live WhatsApp delivery instantly.

Q: Can I send documents and images using this MCP Server?

Yes. Use sendmediamessage to send files. Specify the media type as image, video, audio, or document inside your Cursor prompt.

Q: What happens to my Gupshup Messaging API keys and customer phone numbers in Cursor?

Cursor keeps your API keys stored in your local .cursor/mcp.json file, never uploading them to external servers. Customer phone numbers and text content are sent directly from your local machine to Gupshup's endpoints, ensuring secure end-to-end data transit.

Generate working code that sends WhatsApp messages using Gupshup Messaging directly inside Cursor.

Generate and Test WhatsApp Templates in Cursor

The `send_template_message` tool executes live WhatsApp notifications inside Cursor while you write your application logic. Your agent uses this tool to test template parameters and verify language codes against the live Gupshup API. To prevent code errors, the `get_template_info` tool fetches the exact parameter structure of your approved WhatsApp templates. Cursor reads this response to write accurate TypeScript types or JSON schemas matching what Gupshup expects.

Inject Live Interactive Messaging into Code

The `send_interactive_message` tool sends up to three quick-reply buttons to WhatsApp recipients directly from your Cursor terminal or chat. This lets you debug the user experience of your conversational flows before committing your code. If you want to test how your app handles quick reactions, the `send_reaction` tool lets Cursor send emoji feedback to mock user messages. You inspect the payload structure in real time, making it simple to write precise event handlers.

Debug Media and Text Payloads on the Fly

The `send_media_message` tool dispatches images, documents, audio, or video files to verify Gupshup's media handling while you build. Cursor triggers this tool to test if your file hosting URLs work correctly with WhatsApp's rendering engine. For basic text routing, the `send_text_message` tool sends plain text payloads directly from your active editor. You see the delivery receipt inside Cursor immediately, cutting down the loop of testing your messaging backend.

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".
