FastAF for Cursor: web search and scraping over MCP

Give Cursor live public web data: Google search, Maps, News, YouTube transcripts, page scraping to Markdown and more, as 23 tools from the hosted FastAF MCP server at https://api.fastaf.co/mcp (Streamable HTTP, stateless). The same API key works over REST, and failed calls cost no credits.

How do you get a key?

Sign up at fastaf.co/signup: the first API key arrives by email with the confirmation link. Confirm the email to unlock 500 free credits every month, then export the key:

export FASTAF_API_KEY=...   # keep it out of prompts and repositories

How do you connect Cursor?

Add the server to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (every project) or .cursor/mcp.json (one project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fastaf": {
      "url": "https://api.fastaf.co/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:FASTAF_API_KEY}" }
    }
  }
}

Cursor resolves ${env:FASTAF_API_KEY} in url and headers from the environment, so the key never sits in the file. Start Cursor from an environment where the variable is set.

Checked on against Cursor MCP documentation and Cursor CLI MCP commands.

How do you check it works?

agent mcp list
agent mcp list-tools fastaf

With the Cursor CLI (agent), the first command shows the server and the second its tools. In the editor, ask the agent for live data, for example a Google search with google_search.

What does it cost?

500 free credits every month after email verification, shared by REST and MCP and by all your keys. After that, prepaid packs from $10 for 20,000 credits, without expiry. A Google search costs 5 credits and a plain page scrape 1; failed calls cost nothing. Every tool result reports credits_used and credits_remaining. See FastAF pricing.

FAQ

How do I add FastAF to Cursor?

Add a fastaf entry to ~/.cursor/mcp.json or .cursor/mcp.json pointing at the hosted MCP server https://api.fastaf.co/mcp with Authorization: Bearer and your FastAF API key, read from the FASTAF_API_KEY environment variable through ${env:FASTAF_API_KEY}.

Is there a free tier?

Yes: 500 free credits every month per account after email verification, no card, shared by REST and MCP. After that, pay per call with prepaid credits or with x402 on the REST endpoints.

Am I charged for failed tool calls?

No. A call that fails costs no credits.

Which tools does the server expose?

23 tools, for example google_search, google_maps_places, search_news, youtube_transcript, scrape_url, extract. Listing them is public and needs no key; calling one needs a FastAF API key or an OAuth token.

Can the MCP server be paid with x402?

No. MCP tool calls need an API key or OAuth. x402 pay-per-call, from $0.003 per call, works on the REST endpoints under https://api.fastaf.co/x402/v1/.
