Setting Up the Reteno MCP Server in Cursor

Cursor connects directly to your Reteno account through the Reteno MCP server. Once connected, you can manage email templates, contacts, segments, events, and analytics from Cursor, without opening the Reteno platform.

For a full list of what the agent can do, see Integrating Reteno with AI Agents. For the server endpoint, authentication, and the full list of tools, see the Reteno MCP Server reference.

Add the Reteno MCP Server

  1. In Cursor, open Settings ā†’ Tools & MCPs.
  2. Click Add Custom MCP.
Add Custom MCP
  1. Cursor opens the mcp.json configuration file. Add the Reteno server:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reteno": {
      "url": "https://mcp.reteno.com"
    }
  }
}
Add the Reteno server
  1. Save the file (Ctrl+S, or āŒ˜S on macOS).
  2. Restart Cursor.
  3. After the restart, open Settings ā†’ Tools & MCPs again and click Connect next to the Reteno server.
  4. Sign in with your Reteno account and grant access.

That's it ā€” no extra configuration is needed.

Verify the Connection

Ask Cursor to list what it can do, for example:

List the available Reteno MCP tools.

If the connection works, Cursor returns the Reteno tools grouped by area (contacts, segments, events, templates, analytics, and more). The first time the agent runs a tool, Cursor asks you to approve the tool call.
