What is the Showpad MCP Server?
Grant your AI agent (like Claude or Cursor) absolute administrative observability over your Showpad sales enablement environment. The Showpad MCP equips your LLM to act as a fully autonomous vault auditor. Forget manually opening platform channels and endless folders—now you can interrogate asset libraries, audit user hierarchies, and extract direct sales collateral exclusively via natural conversational prompts interacting deeply with your dedicated API.
What you can do
- Massive Collateral Infiltration — Rip through your organizational asset vault via
list_assetsandsearch_assets. Found the brochure you need? Drill down violently withget_asset_detailsto extract all underlying metadata - User & Division Surveillance — Audit seller hierarchies invoking
list_usersand pull their raw profiles viaget_user_details. Scope out overarching structures usinglist_divisionsto forecast alignment without opening a single dashboard - Taxonomy & Channel Cartography — Interrogate the categorization mechanics applying
list_tagsand map the publishing pipelines by extractinglist_channels
How it works
- Anchor this core interface directly within your native MCP agent framework natively
- Safely entrench your
SHOWPAD_ACCESS_TOKENandSHOWPAD_SUBDOMAINmatrix inside the workspace to lock down security boundaries - Engage your agent pragmatically: "Search all assets tagged with 'Q3 Launch' and check which division they belong to based on their publisher!"

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Showpad into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Showpad and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 8 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
Can the integration alter, upload, or delete assets directly?
By structural design, this module is strictly bound as an observational and auditing lens. Operations such as search_assets, list_channels, and get_user_details parse and extract massive contextual architecture. It explicitly omits write mechanisms preventing your autonomous agent from accidentally sabotaging or permanently deleting valid organizational sales assets.
Why construct this manually over downloading platform-provided CSVs?
Static extracts decay instantly upon creation implicitly blinding observers. The MCP parameter configuration hands your prompt active, unadulterated runtime authority to scan real-time hierarchies, pull active tags, and interrogate asset metadata aggressively instantly. It creates dynamic query dialogue natively routing structural truths.
Are specific domain aliases required for the query logic?
Yes exactly. Because Showpad physically partitions tenants distinctively, providing and solidifying the SHOWPAD_SUBDOMAIN variable string guarantees the underlying path execution targets explicitly your organizational API backbone (your-subdomain.showpad.biz) ruthlessly.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
