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 notes from Notion for a specific meeting — all without writing any integration code.

Step 1 — Configure Actions in Fastn

• Log in to Fastn.

• Click on the “Try UCL” banner and select the workspace you want to enable UCL for.

• 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

• Install Cursor on your desktop.

  💡 Make sure you have the latest version installed.

• Open Cursor and go to Settings (top-right corner).

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

• In Fastn, copy the UCL JSON configuration for your workspace:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Fastn MCP Server": {
      "url": "https://mcp.fastn.ai/sse/?api_key=<your_api_key>&space_id=<your_space_id>"
    }
  }
}

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

• Cursor will now show Fastn UCL Server as connected.

Step 3 — Use Cursor to Fetch Meeting Notes 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 notes from Notion for the meeting titled "Meeting Name"

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

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