Search Instagram influencers and get business emails using Cursor IDE. Full setup guide with code examples.
Quick Setup
- Open Cursor Settings → MCP Servers
- Add social-intel server with
npx -y social-intel-mcp - Use natural language in Cursor chat to search influencers

{
"mcpServers": {
"social-intel": {
"command": "npx",
