Give Cursor live web search, news and current docs

Cursor's agent writes code from what the model learned in training. When a library changed last month, it confidently writes last year's API. NestDaddy gives it a way to look things up first.

Add the server

Get a key at nestdaddy.com/mcp (free plan: 1,000 calls a month, no card). Put this in ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project, or in .cursor/mcp.json inside one project:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nestdaddy": {
      "url": "https://mcp.nestdaddy.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Open Cursor Settings, then MCP: nestdaddy should show a green dot and nine tools.

Use it

In agent mode, ask for things that need the current internet:

Check the latest Next.js release notes on the web, then update our config for anything that changed.

The agent calls web_search or news_search, reads the page with read_page, and only then edits code.

Tips

• Put a line in your project rules: "For library versions, release notes and anything recent, search the web with nestdaddy before answering."
• Keep .cursor/mcp.json out of git if it holds your key, or use the global file.
