Will Cursor publish without asking me?

No. PostWing requires a preview step and your confirmation before anything is scheduled. Cursor shows you the draft and time first; it only confirms after you say yes.

Which social platforms can I schedule with Cursor and PostWing?

Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Facebook, Pinterest, and Threads. Same eight platforms PostWing supports in the dashboard.

Do I need an API key for Cursor?

No. Cursor connects with OAuth through the MCP server at https://postwing.io/api/mcp. Leave the OAuth client ID and secret blank when you add the server; Cursor registers automatically, then you sign in to PostWing and approve access.

Is this available on every PostWing plan?

Yes. AI and MCP access, including Cursor, works with an active PostWing subscription. Posts Cursor schedules count as normal posts on your account. There is no separate Cursor quota.
