Connect Cursor & Coding Tools

Feed Forge's own model is named feed-forge. Every AI request on the website, MCP, and Cursor deducts 20 credits immediately.

Add Feed Forge as a Cursor model

This uses the same custom-model path as other OpenAI-compatible models in Cursor. After it is selected, Agent chat can research the open project: Cursor sends the same search and file tools, and feed-forge answers them. Each request deducts 20 credits, including each research step.

1. In Feed Forge, open Settings and create a model API key.

2. In Cursor, open Cursor Settings → Models (Cmd+Shift+J on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+J on Windows).

3. Paste the Feed Forge key into OpenAI API Key, then turn Use OpenAI API Key on and save.

4. Turn on Override OpenAI Base URL and set it to https://feedforgeai.com/api/v1. If Cursor adds /v1 itself, https://feedforgeai.com also works.

5. Click Add Custom Model and enter feed-forge.

6. In the chat model picker, choose feed-forge. Leave Auto off so the request stays on Feed Forge.

7. Ask it to research the open project, for example: “Search this project and explain how credits are deducted.”

While the base URL override is on, OpenAI-routed models in Cursor also go through Feed Forge. Turn the override off when you want Cursor’s built-in OpenAI models again. Tab completion stays on Cursor’s own model.

Connect MCP

Feed Forge also exposes a remote MCP server. AI tools on that server use the same key and the same 20-credit charge.

MCP endpoint: https://feedforgeai.com/api/mcp

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "feed-forge": {
      "url": "https://feedforgeai.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_FEED_FORGE_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Full install UI: feedforgeai.com/mcp

Connect Cursor MCP UI

1. Open Cursor → Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP.

2. Add the JSON above, with your Settings key in the Authorization header.

3. Save. Feed Forge should show as connected.

4. Ask the agent to draft a post or use coding help. Each tool call deducts 20 credits.

• All projects: ~/.cursor/mcp.json
• One project only: .cursor/mcp.json

Tools after connecting

Other MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Windsurf) can use the same URL and Authorization header when they support remote HTTP MCP.
