Install Fast Data Actors (via Apify MCP) in Cursor

What you need first

• Cursor, installed.
• Nothing else: the server runs on its publisher's machines and Cursor connects to it.

Steps

1. Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json, or create it. For one project only, use .cursor/mcp.json in that project.
2. Add this block. If the file already has mcpServers, add only the entry inside it.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fast-data": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fast_data_asap/youtube-transcript-scraper,fast_data_asap/google-trends-scraper,fast_data_asap/google-news-scraper,fast_data_asap/job-search-api,fast_data_asap/career-site-jobs-api,fast_data_asap/document-to-markdown,fast_data_asap/ai-image-upscaler,fast_data_asap/ai-background-remover,fast_data_asap/bulk-image-downloader"
    }
  }
}

3. Save the file. In Cursor's settings, find the server in the MCP section and turn it on if it is off.

Check it worked

Ask Cursor: List the tools of fast-data.

If it does not start

401 Unauthorized

The endpoint wants a sign-in or a key. Sign in when Cursor asks.

Nothing changes after a restart

The file is not valid JSON any more. Look for a missing comma where the block was added.
