What this gives you: the StaticOwl CMS wired into Cursor as an MCP server. Cursor's agent can list your sites, design content types, create and edit pages, manage releases, and trigger builds — the full 97-tool surface — without leaving your editor.

Step 1 — Get a key

Grab a free trial key at app.staticowl.com/signup-key.html (email + one line, no card — you get a 30-day sandbox site). Already on a paid plan? Mint a key under Settings → API Keys in the admin console.

Step 2 — Add StaticOwl to Cursor

Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json in a project. StaticOwl speaks native remote HTTP transport, so the config is one block:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "staticowl": {
      "url": "https://app.staticowl.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Reload Cursor (or toggle the server in Settings → MCP). The StaticOwl tools appear in the MCP list.

Prefer OAuth over a pasted key? Point Cursor at the same URL without a header — Cursor's cursor:// OAuth flow is on our allowlist, so it'll sign you in through the browser instead.

Step 3 — Use it

Ask Cursor's agent to work on your site — it inspects the tool list and picks the right calls:

Using the StaticOwl MCP, list my sites, then show the content types and a few sample pages on the sandbox.

With more than one site, name the one you mean or set a default with the sites_set_default tool.
