Connect Cursor

Cursor reads MCP servers from an mcp.json file. Add Link in Seconds and the agent can publish what it builds, such as a prototype page or a generated report, and hand you a shareable link.

1. Create an API key

   Open Dashboard → API keys, create a key named “Cursor” and copy it.

2. Add the server to mcp.json

   Use ~/.cursor/mcp.json to have it in every project, or .cursor/mcp.json in one project. Cursor can read the key from an environment variable, which keeps it out of the file:

   ~/.cursor/mcp.jsonCopy

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "linkinseconds": {
         "url": "https://linkinseconds.com/api/mcp",
         "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:LIS_API_KEY}" }
       }
     }
   }

   Set LIS_API_KEY in your shell profile and restart Cursor, or paste the key in place of ${env:LIS_API_KEY} if the file never leaves your machine.

3. Check it in settings

   Open Cursor Settings, then the MCP section. linkinseconds should show as enabled with six tools.

4. Ask the agent

   TextCopy

   Build a landing page for this project as one index.html and publish it with linkinseconds
