Connect Cursor

About 2 minutes. You need a Sharedrop account.

In a terminal (Cursor's own terminal works), run:

npm install -g @sharedrop/cli

This needs Node.js 20.10 or later.

sharedrop login

A browser window opens once. Approve the sign-in, then check it with sharedrop whoami. It shows your Sharedrop username.

npx skills add ShareDropCloud/skills --skill sharedrop -g

The skill teaches Cursor when and how to use the CLI.

Ask Cursor:

Make a one-page summary of this conversation and share it with ShareDrop.

Check it worked

Cursor replies with a sharedrop.cloud link that opens your new page, private to you until you share it.

The terminal says command not found: close and reopen the terminal. If it still fails, run node --version and update Node.js if it is older than 20.10.
sharedrop whoami does not show your username: run sharedrop login again.
Cursor answers without a link: start a new session so it picks up the skill, or say "use the sharedrop CLI" in your request.

Use this only if you can't install the CLI. The connector signs you in through the browser, so you don't need an API key.

Or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json yourself:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sharedrop": {
      "url": "https://sharedrop.cloud/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

See Connector (MCP) for more, or the CLI Guide for every command.
