What can the agent actually do once connected?

Everything the CLEATUS REST API exposes: search 1M+ federal and SLED opportunities, pull AI-ranked recommendations, read full opportunity details, manage the pipeline and pursuits, create and update tasks, search market intelligence (agencies, contractors, contracting officers), run workflows, and search the Document Hub. Write actions are guarded with confirm-before-change and every call lands in the audit log.

Do I need a CLEATUS account first?

Yes. Account creation and the OAuth approval are the two steps that deliberately stay human; your agent can do everything else. No account yet? Ask your agent to set CLEATUS up: it hands you the signup link (7-day free trial), waits while you create the account, then verifies the connection itself. The same login works in the Cursor connection flow.

Connect Cursor to CLEATUS: MCP endpoint https://www.cleat.ai/api/mcp/mcp (OAuth 2.1 + PKCE, dynamic client registration). REST alternative with X-Api-Key, OpenAPI spec at https://api.cleat.ai/api/openapi.json, interactive docs at https://api.cleat.ai/api/docs. Plain-text platform guide: https://www.cleat.ai/llms-full.txt. Signup for a new account: https://www.cleat.ai/authentication/signup?utm_source=agents&utm_medium=cursor (7-day free trial).
Setup: Edit your MCP config: Add the snippet to .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global), then reload. Authenticate once: Cursor prompts for OAuth on first use. Sign in and pick your entity. Use it in Agent mode: Ask the agent for opportunity data, solicitation breakdowns, or pipeline updates right in the editor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Over OAuth 2.1 with PKCE. The first time Cursor calls the CLEATUS MCP server it opens a browser window: sign in (or create an account), pick the CLEATUS entity to scope the connection to, and approve. Cursor receives an entity-scoped token; no API key is pasted anywhere, and you can revoke the connection from CLEATUS at any time.
