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.
-
Catch you up
Ask what you missed and Cursor reads your unread Google Messages chats, then gives you the short version: who needs an answer, what was decided, what can wait.
get_messages_to_summarize -
Find any message
The address someone sent last month, the price a client agreed to, the link from a group chat. Cursor searches your Google Messages history and quotes the message.
search_messages -
Draft replies
Cursor writes the reply in your tone, in the chat's language, with the context of the whole thread. You read it, edit it, and send it.
draft_reply -
Send with your OK
When you approve a draft, ConnectChats sends it from your own Google Messages account and confirms delivery. Auto-send only runs in chats where you switch it on.

-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Google Messages in ConnectChats
SMS, MMS and RCS chats, including group chats, are supported. Your phone sends and receives the texts, so it needs to stay on and connected to the internet. Each linked chat starts with its last 200 messages, then every new message arrives as it is sent. This is for Android phones. On iPhone, texts go through iMessage, which needs a Mac.
-
ConnectChats in Cursor
Cursor reads MCP servers from an mcp.json file and supports OAuth sign-in for remote servers. Add ConnectChats once and its agent can look up messages while you work, such as the bug report a teammate sent you on WhatsApp. Cursor signs in with OAuth and renews the token on its own, so you sign in once. You can switch ConnectChats off in Customize without removing it from mcp.json. Cloud Agents keep their own sign-in, separate from the desktop app. Team admins can limit which MCP servers members can use with an allowlist.
Your Google Messages stays under your control
-
You pick the chats
Cursor only sees the Google Messages chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.
-
Drafts by default
Cursor prepares replies. You approve each one before it reaches Google Messages, unless you turn on auto-send for that chat.
-
Stored messages are encrypted
Stored messages are encrypted with a key that only your passkey can unlock. We never train models on your messages.
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.
