Cursor

Cursor supports remote MCP servers over HTTP, allowing your AI assistant to securely connect to Geonode's scraping platform.

Once connected, Cursor can automatically extract web pages, crawl websites, process batch jobs, and retrieve structured content based on your prompts.

Step 1 — Open MCP Settings

Open Cursor and navigate to:

Settings → Tools & MCPs

Under Home MCP Servers, click ew MCP Server

Step 2 — Create a New MCP Server

Configure the server with the following information:

Under Headers, add:

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your Geonode API key.

Step 3 — Save the Configuration

Click Add MCP.

Cursor creates the server configuration automatically.

If you prefer editing the configuration manually, the generated mcp.json looks like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "geonode-scraper": {
      "url": "https://scraper.geonode.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-Api-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 4 — Verify the Connection

Return to Settings → Tools & MCPs.

If the connection is successful, you'll see:

• A green status indicator.
• The geonode-scraper server.
• All available Geonode tools.

The available tools include:

• extract
• job
• jobs
• statistics
• batch
• batch_status
• cancel_batch
• crawl
• crawl_status
• cancel_crawl

Step 5 — Start Using Geonode MCP

Open a new Agent or Composer chat.

You don't need to manually select a tool.

Simply describe the task in natural language, and Cursor automatically chooses the appropriate Geonode MCP tool.

For example:

Extract a web page

Extract the content from https://geonode.com

Summarize a page

Read https://geonode.com and summarize the homepage.

Crawl a documentation website

Crawl https://docs.geonode.com and tell me what documentation sections exist.

Process multiple pages

Extract these URLs and summarize each page.

https://example.com/page1
https://example.com/page2
https://example.com/page3

Check extraction statistics

Show my Geonode extraction statistics.

How it works

When you send a prompt, Cursor analyzes your request and automatically calls the appropriate Geonode MCP tool.

For example:

You never need to call these tools manually—Cursor handles tool selection and parameter mapping for you.

Viewing Tool Calls

During execution, Cursor displays each MCP tool invocation in the chat.

You can expand each tool call to inspect:

• The tool that was executed.
• The request parameters.
• The response returned by the Geonode MCP Server.

This can be useful for debugging, understanding how Cursor interprets your prompts, or learning which MCP tool was used for a particular request.
