Building Context-Aware Cursor Workflows with Nex

Cursor can access your organization's live customer data — CRM records, email history, Slack conversations, and deal context — by calling the Nex API through custom rules, background scripts, or MCP server integrations. This guide shows how to wire Nex context into Cursor so that AI-assisted coding and analysis tasks are grounded in real business data.

What This Enables

Ask Cursor to generate code that references real customer IDs, deal stages, and account attributes. Have Cursor analyze customer data patterns using live records. Build internal tools where Cursor understands your data model from actual records. Generate customer-specific reports and summaries directly in your editor.

How to Connect Cursor to Nex

The fastest way to connect Cursor to Nex is through the Nex MCP Server. Cursor supports MCP natively, so you can add the Nex server configuration to your Cursor settings and immediately gain access to all 47 Nex context tools. Alternatively, you can use Cursor custom rules to call the Nex REST API directly, or set up background scripts that pre-fetch context before each Cursor session. You will need a Nex account at app.nex.ai with data sources connected, a Nex API key from Settings then API Keys, and Cursor installed from cursor.sh.
