Cursor Integration

Connect NexSpace as an MCP server in Cursor to access all 16 workforce management tools from the IDE.

Setup

Add to your project’s .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nexspace": {
      "url": "https://mcp.nexspace365.com/mcp",
      "env": {
        "NEXSPACE_API_KEY": "nex_live_YOUR_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or add globally at ~/.cursor/mcp.json.

Get an API Key

Log in to NexSpace
Go to Settings → API Keys
Create a key with the scopes you need
Paste it as NEXSPACE_API_KEY

Usage

Once configured, Cursor discovers all 16 NexSpace tools automatically. Ask the agent naturally:

“Search for available staff at facility 12 for tomorrow”

“Show me the coverage report for all facilities this week”

“Verify credential #456 and tell me if it’s still valid”

Agent skill (recommended)

Prefer the CLI skill installer — it drops the nexspace-operations skill so Cursor follows the canonical loop (search → schema → --dry-run → execute) and compliance walls:

npm install -g @nexspace/cli
nexspace login
nexspace skill install --cursor --project   # or omit --project for user-global

Cursor Rules (legacy)

You can still copy the older rule file if you are not using the skill yet:

cp tools/cursor-mcp/nexspace.mdc .cursor/rules/nexspace.mdc

Available on cursor.directory

Search for “NexSpace” on cursor.directory for one-click installation.
