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

  1. Log in to NexSpace
  2. Go to Settings → API Keys
  3. Create a key with the scopes you need
  4. 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”

Cursor Rules

For operational guidance, add the NexSpace rule to your project:
cp tools/cursor-mcp/nexspace.mdc .cursor/rules/nexspace.mdc
This teaches Cursor agents to follow the read-before-write pattern and respect compliance boundaries.

Available on cursor.directory
