Front

Cursor plugin that connects agents to Front through Front's official remote Model Context Protocol server.

Search conversations, read full timelines, draft and send replies, post internal comments, and manage tags, tasks, assignments, and inboxes in the signed-in Front account.

Install

1. A Front admin creates a developer app and notes its credentials (see Setup).
2. Open Cursor Settings → Plugins, search for Front, and click Install.
3. Set Front Client ID and Front Client Secret, then complete the Front sign-in prompt.

Or run /add-plugin front in chat.

MCP

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "front": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.frontapp.com/mcp",
      "auth": {
        "CLIENT_ID": "${CLIENT_ID}",
        "CLIENT_SECRET": "${CLIENT_SECRET}",
        "scopes": ["feature:mcp"]
      }
    }
  }
}

Front does not support dynamic client registration, so the connection is a confidential client: a Front admin registers one developer app and Cursor sends that app's client ID and secret. Each user still signs in with their own Front account, and tool calls run with that teammate's Front permissions.

Setup

1. Create the Front developer app

In Front, go to Settings → Company → Developer and create an app (for example "Cursor MCP Connector"):

1. On the Features tab, click Add feature and select Front MCP.

2. Note the Client ID and Client secret.

3. Register the redirect URLs Cursor uses:

   Surface	Redirect URL
   Desktop	http://localhost:8787/callback
   Web and Cloud Agents	https://www.cursor.com/agents/mcp/oauth/callback
   Grok Bot	https://www.cursor.com/bot/mcp/oauth/callback

4. Under Resource permissions, select the narrowest set that covers your use case: read for a research agent, read + write for a drafting copilot, and send only if the agent should actually send messages.

5. Save the app.

2. Enter the credentials in Cursor

In Dashboard → Plugins → Configure, set Front Client ID and Front Client Secret from that app. On a team marketplace an admin sets them once for everyone; each member still completes their own Front sign-in.

What agents can do

Category	Tools
Conversations	search_conversations, read_conversation, update_conversation_status, assign_conversation, move_conversation
Drafts and messages	create_draft, update_draft, delete_draft, send_message, list_drafts, read_message, get_attachment
Comments and tags	add_comment, list_tags, tag_conversation
Tasks	create_task, update_task
Templates	search_message_templates
Contacts and accounts	search_contacts, read_contact, search_accounts, read_account
Organization	get_my_identity, list_inboxes, list_channels, list_teammates, list_teams, list_statuses

The hosted runtime is the source of truth for tool names and schemas. Tools that mutate state visibly are marked destructive, so Cursor asks for confirmation per call.

Notes

• Permissions are enforced at call time against the teammate's current Front role. An inbox that teammate cannot see is invisible to the agent too. search_conversations defaults to my_conversations; unassigned conversations need scope: all_inboxes.
• Changing the app's resource permissions does not reach existing connections. Each user has to disconnect Front and connect again before new permissions, or tools that need them, start working. Until then those tools return missing required scopes.
• Task IDs are conversation IDs: read_conversation and search_conversations (with filters.type: "task") read them, but only update_task changes task state.
• Rate limits are metered in tool calls per minute — 100 on Starter, 200 on Professional, 300 on Enterprise — keyed to the connecting teammate and independent of Core API limits. Unpublished apps in a company share one pool, so adding apps divides capacity. Over-limit calls come back as tool results that state how long to wait.
