Connect Fastn UCL to Cursor and access data from Notion

In this guide, you’ll learn how to connect a Fastn UCL deployment to Cursor and use its AI assistant to retrieve summary from Notion for a specific meeting; all without writing any integration code.

What we will achieve

• Connect your Notion account to Fastn UCL

• Deploy a UCL assistant that runs inside Cursor

• Retrieve a specific meeting summary using natural language prompts

Step 1: Configure Actions in Fastn UCL

• Log in to Fastn UCL from ucl.dev.

• After you log in, you can select a workspace, after which you'll be directed to the next page to set up your integrations.

  When you first log in to Fastn UCL, a workspace titled "My Workspace" is created by default.

  

• On the next screen, search for the Connector Notion.

• Click Connect My Account and authorize access to your Notion workspace.

• Click Enable on Notion, then select the actions you want the assistant to perform; for example, Get Tasks.

⚠️ Ensure you have the necessary permissions in Notion to allow Fastn to access your content.

• Choose the specific action like Get Tasks, and click Done.

• Click Continue to complete the configuration.

Step 2: Connect Cursor to Fastn UCL

• Download and install the latest version of Cursor on your desktop.
• Open Cursor and navigate to Settings in the top-right corner.

• In the MCP section, click Add new global server, this opens a file named mcp.json.

• From Fastn UCL, navigate to the Integrate section in the right sidebar, and copy the code for your workspace.

Checking the multitenant option will enable you to embed connectors and actions for multiple tenants [users].

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fastn": {
      "transport": "streamable_http",
      "url": "https://mcp.ucl.dev/shttp/space_id={}&tenant_id=test-tenant&auth_token=customAuthToken"
    }
  }
}

• Paste this configuration into the mcp.json file in Cursor and save it.

• You should now see the Fastn UCL Server listed as connected in Cursor. Under the tools label in Cursor, you can view all the enabled actions available with your connectors in Fastn UCL.

Step 3: Use Cursor to Fetch Meeting Summary from Notion

• In Cursor, click Toggle AI Pane to open the assistant.

Make sure you’ve selected an agent, it's not auto-set.

• In the assistant, it will ask for your Notion database ID after you have given a command like:

  Fetch summary from Notion for the meeting titled "Meeting Name"

• The assistant will use the Get Tasks or relevant action to retrieve notes.

• The meeting summary should appear directly in your AI pane, ready for review or further processing.
