Cursor

Connect Acquisition Atlas to Cursor — the AI-powered code editor with built-in MCP support.

Install

Run the MCP server with one command:

npx @acqatlas-tools/mcp-server

You don't run this directly — Cursor runs it for you. You just need to add the config below with your API key.

You'll need:

1. An Acquisition Atlas API key — Get one here
2. Node.js 18 or later — Download
3. Cursor installed — Download

Add the Config

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root. Paste this and replace ak_live_your_key_here with your actual API key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "acquisition-atlas": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@acqatlas-tools/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "ACQATLAS_API_KEY": "ak_live_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Project-level vs global config

The .cursor/mcp.json file is project-scoped. If you want Acquisition Atlas available in all projects, you can add it to your global Cursor settings instead.

Verify It Works

1. Restart Cursor (or reload the window) after creating the config file
2. Check Cursor's MCP panel — look for "acquisition-atlas" in the list of active servers
3. Try asking: "What counties have filing data available?"

Cursor will call the Acquisition Atlas API and return structured results directly in your editor.

Example Prompts

• "Find all tax lien filings in Miami-Dade county over $10,000"

• "Add John Smith as a fix-and-flip buyer with email john@example.com"
• "Show me all my active buyers"
• "Tag buyer John Smith as 'Cash Buyer'"
• "Which of my buyers match this tax lien property?"
• "Show me my buyer pipeline stats"

Deal pipeline:

• "Create a deal for 456 Oak Ave with an ARV of $200,000"
• "Move this deal to Under Contract"
• "Which buyers match this deal?"

Calendar:

• "Show me all follow-ups scheduled this week"
