Cursor

Connect Ned to Cursor so you can access your Shopify data while you code.

What You'll Need

• Cursor installed
• A Ned AI API key
• Node.js 18+ installed

Step 1: Get Your API Key

1. Go to app.meetned.com
2. Open Settings → Developer
3. Click Create API Key
4. Copy the key

Step 2: Open MCP Settings

1. Open Cursor
2. Go to Settings (gear icon) → MCP
3. Click Add new MCP server

Step 3: Add the Ned Server

Enter the following configuration:

• Name: ned
• Type: command
• Command:

  npx @ned-ai/mcp-server

• Environment Variables:

  NED_API_KEY=ned_live_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE

Alternatively, you can create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ned": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@ned-ai/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "NED_API_KEY": "ned_live_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 4: Verify It Works

Open Cursor's AI chat (Cmd+L / Ctrl+L) and ask:

• "What are my sales today?"
• "How did my store perform last week?"

You should see Cursor call the Ned tools and return your store data.

Step 5: Try These Prompts

• "Pull my top 5 products by revenue this month and build a chart component"
• "What's my gross margin? Help me set pricing for a new product"
• "Check my marketing metrics and suggest where to increase ad spend"

Troubleshooting

Server shows as "not connected"

• Click the refresh button next to the server in MCP settings
• Make sure Node.js is installed: node --version
• Try running the command manually: npx @ned-ai/mcp-server --version

"Authentication failed"

• Double-check your API key starts with ned_live_
• Make sure there are no extra spaces
• Verify the key hasn't been revoked in Settings → Developer
