Can I use Finseo in Cursor?

Yes. Add the Finseo MCP server in Cursor with the URL https://api.finseo.ai/v1/mcp and an Authorization: Bearer header carrying a Finseo API key with read scope. The Cursor agent can then read your AI visibility data through 15 read-only tools, including visibility metrics, cited sources, fan-outs, and tasks.

How do I authenticate Cursor with Finseo?

Create an API key with read scope under Settings, API in Finseo. In Cursor, add the MCP server URL https://api.finseo.ai/v1/mcp and send the key as the header Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY. Unlike Claude and ChatGPT, Cursor uses the API key instead of the OAuth sign-in flow.

Can the Cursor agent change data in Finseo?

No. Every Finseo MCP tool is read-only, so Cursor can read visibility, prompts, answers, sources, and tasks but never edit a project, add a prompt, or change a setting. The API key only needs read scope, and you can revoke it in Finseo under Settings, API at any time.

Why use Finseo data inside a code editor?

Many AI visibility improvements are implemented in code: FAQ sections, structured data, or restructured pages. With Finseo in Cursor, the agent sees which sources ChatGPT and Perplexity cite, which sub-queries engines run, and what the prioritized task recommends, so the change targets real AI answers instead of assumptions.

Does the Finseo MCP server work in Claude Code as well?

Yes. Claude Code connects to the same endpoint, https://api.finseo.ai/v1/mcp, either with OAuth or with the same Authorization: Bearer header and API key you use in Cursor. Other MCP clients that support remote servers with a Bearer header work the same way, with identical tools and data.

Does the Cursor integration cost extra?

There is no separate fee for using the Finseo MCP server in Cursor. You need a Finseo account on a paid plan with at least one tracking project and an API key with read scope. The integration reads the data your plan already tracks and adds no data of its own.

Which AI engines does the data in Cursor cover?

Every engine your Finseo project tracks, such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot, and Grok. Analytics tools accept a model filter, so the Cursor agent can look at one engine at a time, and tag filters narrow results to a group of prompts, for example one product line.

Cursor AI Visibility Integration

Add the Finseo MCP server to Cursor and pull visibility data, prompts, cited sources, and competitor insights into your editor, handy when writing content or building pages that should show up in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini answers.

Overview

Your AI visibility data in Cursor.

Ask about your AEO and GEO results in plain language: visibility trends, competitors and cited sources, answered from your own Finseo tracking data. Adding the Finseo MCP server to Cursor gives the agent in your editor read-only access to your AI visibility data.

Build pages around real AI queries

Ask Cursor for the most frequent query fan-outs on your tracked prompts. get_query_fanouts returns the sub-queries AI models run, so new pages and sections answer the questions engines actually ask.

Implement Finseo tasks in code

Ask for the top open task. list_tasks and get_task_details return the step-by-step plan and evidence, and Cursor helps implement it directly in your codebase, for example a new FAQ block or structured data.

Check what AI engines cite

get_top_sources shows which domains and pages ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini cite for your prompts.

Read the answer you are optimizing for

Pull the actual answer text with get_answer_content and see which brands were named and which sources were cited, so content changes target a concrete answer instead of a guess.

Verify after deployment

After shipping a change, ask Cursor for the visibility trend of the affected prompts with get_visibility_timeseries and a model filter, without switching to the dashboard.

How it connects

Why it matters

Why Cursor customers need AI visibility tracking.

Content and site changes that improve AI visibility are often made in code: new sections, FAQ blocks, structured data, or restructured pages. Without a connection, the developer works from a ticket and never sees the AI answers the change is meant to influence.

How to connect

Connect Cursor to Finseo.

In 5 steps, no code required.

Connect Cursor

Step 01
Create an API key
In Finseo, open Settings, API and create an API key with read scope. Copy the key for the next step.

In Cursor, add a new MCP server with the URL https://api.finseo.ai/v1/mcp and the header Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY.
Step 03
Check that the tools load
Once connected, Cursor lists the 15 Finseo tools, from list_projects to get_task_details. Start with list_projects to find the project ID the other tools need.
Step 04
Ask your first question
Try "Which fan-out queries appear most for my tracked prompts?" or "Show my top open Finseo task". The agent calls the right tools and answers from your data.
Step 05
Follow the full guide
Configuration examples for Cursor, Claude Code, and other MCP clients are in the Finseo documentation at docs.finseo.ai/mcp/overview.

FAQ

Cursor and AI search visibility.

The same 15 read-only tools as every Finseo MCP client: list_projects, get_visibility_metrics, get_visibility_timeseries, list_prompts, get_prompt_details, get_answer_content, get_competitor_ranking, get_competitor_gap_analysis, get_competitor_h2h, get_sentiment_overview, get_top_sources, get_tags, get_query_fanouts, list_tasks, and get_task_details. Start with list_projects, because every other tool needs the project ID it returns, then drill down from KPIs to prompts, answers, and sources.
