Why Composio?

  • 1,000+ SaaS toolkits out of the box. Skip the work of building and maintaining integrations, Composio gives you instant access to a vast catalog of pre-built connectors.
  • One MCP server for every app. Connect any of your applications on demand through a single endpoint, rather than juggling a separate server for each app.
  • Smart, context-aware tool loading. Unlike traditional MCP servers that dump every available tool into the LLM context window, Composio searches for and loads only the tools relevant to the task at hand. A remote CLI workbench lets LLMs compose these tools into workflows for complex automation.

  "servers": {
    "composio": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp"

Connect your Nango account

Back in Cursor, ask the agent to connect to Nango or give it any Nango-related task.

For example, ask it to:

  • "List all connected CRM accounts"
  • "Trigger manual sync with Salesforce provider"
  • "Get configuration for all available scripts"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access to Nango.

That is it. Composio tools are now available in Cursor, and your Nango account is ready to use.

Conclusion

You have successfully connected Nango to Cursor using Composio Connect. Your agent can now use Nango securely without exposing credentials in prompts or local scripts.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Nango MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Nango tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Nango and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Yes, you can. Cursor fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Nango tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Nango scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Nango data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
