How to Use the Hotjar (Behavior Analytics) MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure the Hotjar (Behavior Analytics) MCP Server in Cursor?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root. Add the server under mcpServers with the API keys, and Cursor will let you call the tools in Agent mode.

Q: Can I use Hotjar (Behavior Analytics) data to generate code in Cursor?

Yes. The Cursor agent can call getheatmap to inspect click coordinates. It then writes precise CSS adjustments to align buttons with actual user click patterns.

Q: Does the Hotjar (Behavior Analytics) MCP Server work in Cursor's Composer mode?

Yes. Composer mode can access tools like listfeedback to gather user complaints and apply multi-file edits to resolve those specific issues.

Q: How do I inspect specific survey responses while coding?

Ask the agent to run getsurvey and listsurveyresponses. It will pull the latest user text directly into your chat sidebar so you can review feedback.

Q: How does Cursor protect the privacy of my survey responses?

The MCP server transmits survey answers from listsurveyresponses using end-to-end encryption. No PII is cached, and the data is processed solely within your local editor session.

Perplexity

Feed real user friction directly into Cursor Agent

The Hotjar (Behavior Analytics) MCP Server brings live behavioral metrics directly to your editor via `list_recordings` and `get_heatmap`. Your agent reads these metrics to understand where users misclick on your live site. Cursor uses this data to write code that actually fixes the layout. It reads the click coordinates from the heatmap, maps them to your local CSS files, and rewrites the broken elements.

Debug drop-offs with live funnel analytics

The Hotjar (Behavior Analytics) MCP Server lets you pull conversion bottlenecks into your editor sidebar using `list_funnels` and `list_sites`. This lets you see the exact conversion rates for each step of your checkout flow. Cursor analyzes these drop-offs and checks your local routing files. It suggests code modifications to remove form fields that cause users to abandon the funnel.

Refactor code based on direct user surveys

The Hotjar (Behavior Analytics) MCP Server lets Cursor fetch user complaints using `list_survey_responses` and `list_feedback`. You inspect qualitative issues alongside your active codebase. The editor matches negative feedback about specific UI elements to your source files. You can immediately refactor the components that users complain about.
