Wire FoxAPIs into Cursor.

Cursor's MCP integration accepts remote endpoints. Add the FoxAPIs URL once and every tool is callable from inside the chat panel — perfect for code-adjacent research.

Step-by-step install

Open Cursor → Settings (Cmd/Ctrl+,) → MCP.
Click Add Server.
Name: foxapis. URL: https://www.mentionfox.com/mcp.
Headers: add Authorization: Bearer YOUR_FOXAPIS_KEY.
Save. The tools list refreshes; FoxAPIs tools appear in the chat composer's tool picker.

Three worked examples

Example 1 — Build a vetting CLI

Use the foxapis vet_person tool to build a Node CLI:
node vet.js "Saul Garcia" --depth deep --json > saul.json

Example 2 — Generate a comparison page

Call compare_subjects on these 8 OSS metrics tools and
write the result as a markdown comparison-table page in
content/blog/oss-metrics-tools.mdx.

Example 3 — Daily GEO actions

Call get_geofixer_top_actions for vercel.com with
max_difficulty 60. Open Linear issues for each.

Common errors & fixes

tools missingHit "Refresh" on the MCP server entry; Cursor sometimes caches the empty list.

auth failedCursor escapes header values aggressively. Wrap your key in straight quotes.

tool not pickedReference the tool name explicitly in the prompt the first time, e.g. "Use foxapis vet_person to ...".
