# Social listening in Cursor

Add https://sociallisteningai.com/mcp to Cursor's MCP settings and the Cursor agent can search recent TikTok, Reddit, YouTube, Instagram and X posts and comments about a brand while you write copy, specs or research notes. Cursor opens the Buzzsift sign-in page itself; no key to paste. 100 points a search.

## Set it up

1. **Add the server**: Cursor Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server, or put this in ~/.cursor/mcp.json: {"mcpServers": {"buzzsift": {"url": "https://sociallisteningai.com/mcp"}}}
2. **Sign in**: Cursor opens the Buzzsift sign-in page in your browser: sign in and press Allow.
3. **Use it**: In Agent mode, ask: "What do people on Reddit dislike about Linear? Summarize with links."

## Good to know

- **Per project**: Put the same JSON in .cursor/mcp.json inside a project to use it only there.
- **No OAuth?**: Use a private address from your account page as the url instead; it carries the key, so don't commit it.

## Things to ask

- "Find TikTok comments about our app and list the feature requests."
- "What does Reddit say about Figma's pricing change? Quote 5 posts."

## Tools

- find_mentions (100 points), run_report (1,000), watch_brand (50 a run with something new), get_report, list_watches, stop_watch, balance (free).
