# Connect Whop Trends to Cursor

Add the Whop Trends MCP server to Cursor. Cursor's agent can then search Whop products, read revenue estimates, and pull daily history.

## Before you start

- Whop Trends Pro: $29/month or $228/year.
- An API key from https://whoptrends.com/dashboard/api-keys. Keys start with wt_.
- Each key allows 1,000 calls per UTC day.

## One-click install

[Add to Cursor](cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=whop-trends&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3dob3B0cmVuZHMuY29tL2FwaS9tY3AiLCJoZWFkZXJzIjp7IkF1dGhvcml6YXRpb24iOiJCZWFyZXIgWU9VUl9BUElfS0VZIn19)

The link opens Cursor, which asks you to install the server. The server has the text YOUR_API_KEY where the key goes. Replace it with your key in mcp.json (~/.cursor/mcp.json, or .cursor/mcp.json in your project). Then restart Cursor.

## Setup

### 1. Create an API key

Open https://whoptrends.com/dashboard/api-keys and create a key. Copy it now. The full key shows once.

### 2. Add the server to mcp.json

Skip this step if you used the one-click link.

~/.cursor/mcp.json applies to every project. .cursor/mcp.json applies to one project and is often committed, so keep your key out of it.

~/.cursor/mcp.json:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "whop-trends": {
      "url": "https://whoptrends.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### 3. Restart Cursor

Restart Cursor after you save mcp.json.

### 4. Add the skills (optional)

Skills tell Cursor's agent which Whop Trends tool fits a question. Run this in your project folder.

Terminal:

```bash
for s in whop-market-research whop-product-analysis whop-competitive-intel; do
  mkdir -p .cursor/skills/$s
  curl -fsSL https://whoptrends.com/api/skills/$s -o .cursor/skills/$s/SKILL.md
done
```

## Check the connection

- Open Customize, then MCPs. whop-trends is listed and turned on. A yellow dot means it is still connecting or cannot connect.
- If it does not connect, open the Output panel (Cmd+Shift+U) and pick MCP Logs.
- Cursor asks before it runs a tool. Approve the first call.

## First prompt

```text
Use the whop-trends MCP server. List the 5 Whop products with the highest estimated monthly revenue. Then pull the daily history for the top one and tell me if it is growing.
```

## Notes

- Sign-in without a key is not available yet. Today you paste a key.
- A 401 means the key is wrong or revoked, or your Pro plan ended.
- A 429 means too many calls: more than 25 in 10 seconds, or 1,000 in one UTC day.
