Substack + Cursor

Read Substack publication content, posts, comments, podcast episodes via public RSS/JSON feeds. 5 tools, no auth required.

Prerequisiti

Le istruzioni di setup complete sono incluse nel connettore stesso (visibili nello store quando lo selezioni). Le variabili d'ambiente richieste sono:

SUBSTACK_PUBLICATION_URL

Step 1 — Ottieni le credenziali

Setup: NO API KEY. Set SUBSTACK_PUBLICATION_URL = the publication's base URL (e.g. https://lennysnewsletter.substack.com). For tools that target a specific publication, the URL is taken from this env var.

Authentication: NONE. All reads use public endpoints (the same JSON Substack's own site fetches).

Content endpoints available:

  • /api/v1/posts?limit=N&offset=M — paginated posts list (each post: id, title, slug, post_date, audience, type)
  • /api/v1/posts/by-id/{id} — single post detail
  • /api/v1/comments/{post_id} — top comments on a post
  • /api/v1/podcast/feed — podcast episodes (audio newsletters only)
  • /feed — standard RSS feed

…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)

Step 2 — Installa l'adapter

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d

Step 3 — Aggiungi il connettore in Cursor

Cursor legge i server MCP da ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Aggiungi questa voce:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anythingmcp": {
      "url": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}
  1. Ottieni la tua MCP API key da AnythingMCP → Profilo → MCP API Keys → Nuova Key.
  2. Salva il file e riavvia Cursor.
  3. Apri Cursor → Impostazioni → MCP per verificare che Substack sia presente e "Connected".
  4. Inizia a chattare — tutti gli strumenti di Substack sono ora invocabili.
