Connect Soon to Cursor

This adds Soon to Cursor.

Before you start

• A Soon account you can sign in to.
• Cursor installed and signed in.

You connect as yourself, so the assistant sees exactly what you see in Soon and nothing more. Your permissions carry over: if you cannot edit a board in Soon, the assistant cannot edit it either.

Steps

1. Open Settings in Cursor.
2. Find the MCP section and select Add new MCP server.
3. Give it the name Soon and paste this address:

https://mcp.soon.works/mcp

1. Save. Cursor connects and opens the Soon sign-in page in your browser.
2. Sign in and select Approve.

Soon shows with a green indicator in the MCP list once connected.

Check that it worked

Ask the assistant:

What is on my schedule this week?

You should get your own shifts back. If you are a planner, try "Who is working on Friday?" as well. If the assistant says it has no Soon tools available, the connection did not complete. See the troubleshooting section below.

What you can ask for

Once connected, you can ask in plain language. For example:

• "What am I working this week?"
• "Who is available to cover Friday evening?"
• "Request leave for the 12th to the 16th."
• "Move Jackson off Saturday and put Ada on instead."

Soon marks every action that changes the schedule as destructive, so your assistant asks before running one. That prompt comes from the assistant rather than from Soon, so only connect assistants you trust.

Turn it off

Remove the Soon entry from the MCP section in Settings.

Troubleshooting

The sign-in window never appears, or nothing happens

Some clients cache an old connection under the same name. Remove the Soon entry, then add it again. If you connected to a test or development URL previously, remove that entry first: reusing the same name can send you to the wrong sign-in page.

The assistant says it cannot see a board

The connection carries your own Soon permissions. If a board is missing, check in Soon that you have access to it. Ask your team owner to add you if not.
