Publish code tutorials with Cursor

Turn your active code snippets into a polished post. Call `create_post` to send your current context directly to your Medium account. This is the fastest way to share what you just built. Your agent handles the API calls while you keep typing in your editor.

List publications inside Cursor

Don't break your focus to check your dashboard. Run `list_publications` to see exactly which publication you should target for your latest article. It maps your existing account structure into your editor. You get the right context without opening a single browser tab.

Verify publication contributors

Need to check who has access to a shared publication? The `list_contributors` tool fetches that list for you immediately. It keeps your team's publishing process transparent. You'll know exactly who is working on the same publication from within the editor.
