ConnectChats

Messenger + Cursor integration

Connect Messenger to Cursor

ConnectChats brings your Messenger 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 Messenger

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

Things to ask Cursor

Type these in Cursor once Messenger is linked.

How to connect Messenger 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 Messenger account

    • Open https://connectchats.com/app and choose Link a chat app, then Messenger.
    • Sign in with your Facebook account on Meta's sign-in page.
    • If you use two-factor authentication, confirm the sign-in on your phone.
    • 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 Messenger

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

Questions

Can Cursor read my Messenger messages?

Yes, once you link Messenger 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 Messenger messages for me?

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

Is the Messenger 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 Messenger 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 Messenger once and use it everywhere.

Do Instagram DMs come with Messenger?

Instagram is a separate chat app in ConnectChats with its own sign-in, even though Meta lets the two message each other.

What do I need to link Messenger?

Your Facebook account. If you use two-factor authentication, keep your phone nearby to confirm the sign-in.

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.
