ConnectChats

Google Messages + Cursor integration

Connect Google Messages to Cursor

ConnectChats brings your Google Messages chats into Cursor. Ask Cursor to catch you up, find any message and draft replies. Nothing gets sent until you approve it.

Free to start. No app to install. Every send needs your OK.

What Cursor can do with your Google Messages

ConnectChats gives Cursor a small set of tools. Cursor calls them when you ask about your Google Messages chats, and only for the chats you share.

Things to ask Cursor

Type these in Cursor once Google Messages is linked.

How to connect Google Messages to Cursor

It takes about two minutes. You do it once, and the same account then works in every AI app you add.

  1. Add ConnectChats to Cursor

    • Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json to use ConnectChats in every project, or .cursor/mcp.json for one project.
    • Add this entry and save: { "mcpServers": { "connectchats": { "url": "https://api.connectchats.com/mcp" } } }
    • Open Customize in the sidebar, find connectchats and sign in when Cursor asks. Use your passkey on the ConnectChats page.
    • In the agent chat, ask about your messages.
  2. Link your Google Messages account

    • Open https://connectchats.com/app and choose Link a chat app, then Google Messages.
    • On your Android phone, open Google Messages, tap your profile picture, then Device pairing, then QR code scanner.
    • Scan the QR code shown in ConnectChats. You can also pair with your Google account instead.
    • Your chats appear in the dashboard, where you choose which ones your AI app can see.
  3. Pick the chats Cursor can see

    Every chat is listed in your ConnectChats dashboard. Share all of them or only the ones you choose. Cursor never sees the rest.

  4. Ask Cursor about your Google Messages

    Open a new conversation in Cursor and ask about your chats. Cursor calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.

How Google Messages and Cursor work together

ConnectChats pairs with your Android phone the same way Google Messages for web does, so your texts and RCS chats reach your AI app. You choose which conversations it can see.

Questions

Can Cursor read my Google Messages messages?

Yes, once you link Google Messages in ConnectChats and add ConnectChats to Cursor. Cursor reads only the chats you share, and only when you ask it something that needs them.

Can Cursor send Google Messages messages for me?

Cursor can draft a reply and send it after you approve it. Messages go out from your own Google Messages account. You can allow automatic sending for specific chats, and it stays off everywhere else.

Is the Google Messages to Cursor integration free?

Yes. The free plan links two chat apps and works in every supported AI app, with no limit on what you ask. No card needed.

Do I need to install anything?

No. You add ConnectChats inside Cursor and link Google Messages from your browser. There is no app to download and nothing runs on your computer.

Does it work with other AI apps too?

Yes. The same ConnectChats account works in ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Manus, Muse and any AI app that supports remote MCP servers. Link Google Messages once and use it everywhere.

Does my phone need to stay on?

Yes. Google Messages works through your phone, so texts only come through while it is on and online, just like Google Messages for web.

Does it work on iPhone?

No. Google Messages is an Android app. iPhone texts come through the iMessage connection, which needs a Mac.

Should I put ConnectChats in the project mcp.json?

Usually not. Your chats are personal, so the global ~/.cursor/mcp.json is the better place. If you commit a project file, teammates still sign in with their own passkey and see only their own chats.

Where do I see whether ConnectChats is connected?

Open Customize in the sidebar. Connection problems show in the Output panel under MCP Logs.
