Triage product feedback in Cursor

Feedback that arrives through the API is classified as bug, feature request, praise, billing or support. With the MCP server connected, the agent working in your codebase can read that queue, so "what are users reporting about the importer?" is answered next to the code that needs fixing.

Cursor reads MCP servers from a JSON file, either per user or per project. Remote servers take a url and optional headers.

Setup

You need a secret key (nv_live_…) from Dashboard → API keys.

01Add the server to mcp.json

~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nordva": {
      "url": "https://mcp.nordva.dev",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer nv_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Use the file in your home directory if the key should not live in the repository. A project-level .cursor/mcp.json containing a key belongs in .gitignore.

02Check the connection

Open Cursor Settings and find the MCP section (Customize > MCPs). nordva should be listed with its tools. In Agent mode, ask it to run setup_check.

Then ask Cursor

  • Show me the latest bug reports.
  • How many feature requests came in this week, and what are they about?
  • Log this as feedback from user 4812: the export button does nothing on Safari.
  • Route bugs to our GitHub repo acme/app.

For “Show me the latest bug reports.” Cursor calls list_feedback with:

{
  "classification": "bug",
  "limit": 20
}

Returned: A list of submissions with id, text, classification, confidence and page URL, plus a cursor if there are more.

Behaviour worth knowing

  • Feedback works on every plan. Free takes 50 messages a month per project and sorts them by keywords; on Indie and Builder, AI sorts them and adds a one-line summary, and routing reaches Slack, Linear and GitHub as well as email.
  • submit_feedback takes between 10 and 2,000 characters of text, plus an optional category_hint and a 1 to 5 rating. With AI sorting the classifier still decides and reports its own confidence; with keyword sorting (Free) the hint is the category.
  • configure_feedback_routing replaces any existing configuration for the same destination. It creates and updates but does not delete.
  • Routing credentials (a Linear API key, a GitHub token, a Slack webhook URL) pass through the agent. The tool description tells it to ask for consent first and never to repeat the secret back.
  • Cursor's agent decides when to call a tool from the tool descriptions; naming the tool in the prompt ("use publish_changelog_entry") removes the guesswork.
  • Tools that send email or remove content are flagged destructive by the server, and their descriptions tell the agent to confirm with you first.
