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

How to connect X 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 X account
- Open https://connectchats.com/app and choose Link a chat app, then X.
- Sign in to x.com in your browser, then copy the session cookies ConnectChats asks for, following the guide on screen.
- ConnectChats checks the session and lists your conversations.
- If you sign out of X everywhere or change your password, link it again the same way.
-
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 X
Open a new conversation in Cursor and ask about your chats. Cursor calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.
How X and Cursor work together
ConnectChats links to your X direct messages using your signed in browser session, because X offers no other way for a personal account to share its DMs. Posts and your timeline are not part of it, only your messages, and you choose which conversations your AI app can see.
-
X in ConnectChats
Direct messages, group DMs and message requests are supported. Encrypted chats on X may not come through, because only your own devices hold their keys. Each linked chat starts with its last 200 messages, then every new message arrives as it is sent. Photos, videos and voice notes show up as short text descriptions, with their captions.
-
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 X stays under your control
-
You pick the chats
Cursor only sees the X 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 X, 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 X messages?
Yes, once you link X 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 X messages for me?
Cursor can draft a reply and send it after you approve it. Messages go out from your own X account. You can allow automatic sending for specific chats, and it stays off everywhere else.
Is the X 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 X 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 X once and use it everywhere.
Does it read my X posts and mentions?
No. ConnectChats is for messages, so it only brings in your direct messages and group DMs.
Why does X need browser cookies instead of a normal sign-in?
X does not offer a sign-in that lets another app read personal DMs. Using your browser session is how ConnectChats connects as you. You can end that session at any time by signing out of X.
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.
