GroupMe + Cursor integration
Connect GroupMe to Cursor
ConnectChats brings your GroupMe 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 GroupMe
ConnectChats gives Cursor a small set of tools. Cursor calls them when you ask about your GroupMe chats, and only for the chats you share.
-
Catch you up
Ask what you missed and Cursor reads your unread GroupMe 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 GroupMe 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 GroupMe account and confirms delivery. Auto-send only runs in chats where you switch it on.

How to connect GroupMe to Cursor
It takes about two minutes. You do it once, and the same account then works in every AI app you add.
-
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 GroupMe account
- Open https://connectchats.com/app and choose Link a chat app, then GroupMe.
- Sign in to GroupMe and allow ConnectChats to access your groups.
- Your chats then 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 GroupMe
Open a new conversation in Cursor and ask about your chats. Cursor calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.
How GroupMe and Cursor work together
ConnectChats connects to your GroupMe account through GroupMe's public API. You sign in to GroupMe, allow ConnectChats to access your groups and choose which chats your AI app can see.
-
GroupMe in ConnectChats
Groups and direct messages are both supported. GroupMe works with SMS for members without the app. Those members' messages come through like any other. You can stop sharing a group with your AI app at any time from the dashboard. Messages your AI app sends go out from your own account, after you approve them.
-
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 GroupMe stays under your control
-
You pick the chats
Cursor only sees the GroupMe 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 GroupMe, 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 GroupMe messages?
Yes, once you link GroupMe 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 GroupMe messages for me?
Cursor can draft a reply and send it after you approve it. Messages go out from your own GroupMe account. You can allow automatic sending for specific chats, and it stays off everywhere else.
Is the GroupMe 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 GroupMe 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 GroupMe once and use it everywhere.
Does it help with busy team or club groups?
Yes. Your AI app can summarize a long group chat, list the dates and plans people mentioned and flag questions aimed at you.
What do I need to link GroupMe?
Your GroupMe account. Open https://connectchats.com/app, choose GroupMe, sign in to GroupMe and allow ConnectChats to access your groups.
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.
