Using Cursor with Hologrow

Use Cursor when you want a coding workspace that can read your synced Hologrow store and ad data through MCP.

Prerequisites

At least one data source connected in Integrations and syncing in Data Explorer
Cursor installed and signed in
An MCP key from AI Platforms

Step 1: Get Hologrow credentials

From AI Hub → AI Platforms:

MCP server URL: https://mcp.hologrow.ai/mcp/v1
Create an MCP key and copy it (shown only once)

Step 2: Add the Hologrow MCP server

Create or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hologrow": {
      "url": "https://mcp.hologrow.ai/mcp/v1",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:HOLOGROW_MCP_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set HOLOGROW_MCP_KEY in your shell profile or system environment to the key from AI Platforms. Cursor resolves ${env:...} when it loads the config. You can also open Cursor Settings → Tools & MCP → New MCP Server and paste the same JSON.

Step 3: Reload Cursor

Restart Cursor, or reload the window, so it loads the new MCP server. Confirm hologrow appears under MCP tools.

Step 4: Test the connection

In Agent chat:

Show me my Amazon Seller sales for the last 7 days.

If Cursor returns real data from your synced accounts, you are connected.

Tips

Prefer environment variables over hard-coding keys in mcp.json, especially in project configs that may be committed.
Project .cursor/mcp.json overrides the same server name in the global file.
After rotating a key in Hologrow, update HOLOGROW_MCP_KEY and reload Cursor.

Security

Hologrow is read-only — it never posts or changes store/ad settings.
Treat MCP keys like passwords; revoke or rotate them from AI Platforms anytime.
