MCP in your editor

Ask Cursor about Mum, while you code.

Cursor is the AI-native editor most working developers use day to day. Drop in the Getwello MCP server and you can ask the editor about your Circle without leaving the file you're in. Same install as the Claude Desktop setup.

Cursor · family-utils.ts

async function digest() {
  const stats = await getwello
    .get_circle_stats({
      circle_id: process.env.CIRCLE,
    });
  const mood = await getwello
    .list_mood_history({
      circle_id: process.env.CIRCLE,
      days: 7,
    });
  return render(stats, mood);
}

Why developers like this

No context switch, no separate window.

Stays where you work

Ask the chat in the same window as your code. No Alt-Tab, no second app, no context switch.

Composer for one-shot tasks

Have the AI draft a digest, an SQL query against an exported Sheet, anything. Pulls live Getwello data, writes the code, hands it back.

Same gates as Claude Desktop

Coordinator role, active subscription, revocable key. The MCP server enforces them identically.

Bring your own AI

Cursor's subscription pays for the AI inference; Getwello is free. Same economic model as Claude Desktop.

# ~/.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "getwello": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@getwello-app/mcp-server"],
      "env": { "GETWELLO_API_KEY": "gw_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

The same JSON, a different file

One snippet in mcp.json, restart, done.

If you've already wired the MCP server into Claude Desktop, this is a five-second copy-paste. The exact same npx invocation, the exact same env var, the exact same tools list.

Identical npx command, identical API key, identical capabilities.
Composer and Chat both see the tools.
Use multiple Cursor profiles with different keys.
Switch to Ollama for local-only operation.

How to set it up

The high level. Full walkthrough in the help guide.

01
Step 1 of 4
Mint a Getwello API key.
Open Settings → Developer API as a Coordinator. Name the key 'Cursor on my MacBook'. Copy the gw_live_ token.
02
Step 2 of 4
Open Cursor's MCP config.
Either edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json directly, or use Cursor's in-app MCP Settings to add a new server.
03
Step 3 of 4
Paste the snippet, drop in the key.
Use the same npx config as Claude Desktop. Save the file.
04
Step 4 of 4
Restart Cursor and try a query.
Quit Cursor properly, reopen, open Composer or Chat. Ask 'list my Getwello Circles'. If the list comes back, you're live.

Frequently asked questions

Is the setup the same as Claude Desktop?

Almost. The MCP server package is identical; only the config file path differs. Cursor reads from ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or the in-app MCP settings). Drop the same snippet in and it works.

Why would a developer want this?

If you're a Coordinator who lives in Cursor for work, asking the editor 'has Mum checked in?' while you're already there is friction-free. Plus you can build small tools inline (digests, scripts, automations) without leaving the editor.

Can I have both Cursor and Claude Desktop configured at once?

Yes. Each app maintains its own MCP config. Same API key works for both; you can also mint separate keys per editor for cleaner audit trails.

Does Cursor send Getwello data to Anthropic / OpenAI?

Whatever you ask Cursor's AI travels through whichever model provider you've configured. If that's a privacy concern, switch Cursor to a local Ollama model and the data stays on your machine.

Will the MCP tools show up in Composer too?

Yes. Composer can call the same MCP tools as the chat. Useful for one-shot generation tasks like 'draft this week's digest using the last seven check-ins.'

Other integrations

Pair this with another.

Some families wire two or three at the same time. The webhook fans out, the API keys stay the same.
