Reclaim 2.0 + Cursor integration

Learn how to connect Reclaim 2.0 to Cursor to coordinate scheduling, calendar workflows, and productivity planning through MCP-powered AI workflows.

This article refers to Reclaim 2.0 features and workflows. You can confirm your current app version in Account Settings.

Connect Reclaim to Cursor to access, analyze, and take action on your schedule directly from Cursor using natural language.


How to connect Reclaim to Cursor

Requirements

To use Reclaim with Cursor, you’ll need:

  • A Cursor account with MCP support

  • A Reclaim account

  • A connected Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook calendar

Reclaim supports both Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook calendars.

Cursor MCP setup instructions

  1. Open Cursor

  2. Open Settings (Cmd + , on macOS)

  3. Navigate to Tools & MCPs

  4. Select New MCP Server

  5. Cursor will open the mcp.json configuration file

Add the following MCP server configuration:

{
"mcpServers": {
"reclaim": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.reclaim.ai"
}
}
}

If mcpServers already exists in your configuration file, add the reclaim entry inside the existing object instead of replacing the file contents.

  1. Save the file (Cmd + S)

  2. Wait for the Reclaim MCP server to appear in Cursor

  3. Click Connect next to the Reclaim MCP server

  4. Complete the OAuth authentication flow in your browser

  5. Click Allow access to authenticate with your Reclaim account

Once connected, Cursor can access Reclaim directly through MCP-powered workflows.

Troubleshooting

If the connection isn’t working correctly:

  • Confirm the MCP server URL was entered correctly:

https://mcp.reclaim.ai
  • Verify the JSON syntax in mcp.json is valid

  • Restart Cursor and try reconnecting

  • Re-authenticate with your Reclaim account if prompted

If the Reclaim MCP server still does not appear as connected, repeat the setup and authorization steps above.

}

Once disconnected, Cursor will no longer be able to access or interact with your Reclaim account.
