MCP integration — Cursor

Motivation Form lets AI agents create forms, surveys, and quizzes from prompts or API calls, then deploy them as live public pages.

This guide covers adding Motivation Form as an MCP server in Cursor.

Prerequisites

• Cursor 0.43 or later (MCP support requires the Cursor agent panel)
• A Motivation Form API key — get one from your dashboard

1. Add the MCP server

Create or edit .cursor/mcp.json in your project root (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for a global config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "motivation-form": {
      "url": "https://app.form.gold/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual key.

Restart Cursor after saving the file.

2. Verify the connection

Open the Cursor agent panel (⌘K or Ctrl+K) and ask:

List my Motivation Form forms

You should see [Using list_forms] and a list of your forms (or a "no forms" message if you haven't deployed any yet).

Example usage

Create and deploy a form from the editor

> Create an intake form for partnership enquiries — collect company name,
  contact email, partnership type (Technology / Distribution / Reseller),
  and a notes field. Notify me at you@example.com.

[Using create_form]
[Using deploy_form]
→ Live at https://form.gold/acme/partnership-intake

Check responses inline

> How many responses did the partnership-intake form receive this week?

[Using get_form_stats({ form_slug: "partnership-intake", period: "7d" })]
→ 12 responses, 89 views, 13.5% completion rate

Available MCP tools

See the Claude Code guide for the full tool list — all 12 tools work identically in Cursor.

Global vs. project config

Use the project-level config if different projects use different API keys.
