Checked on 15 November 2026 against Cursor's page Model Context Protocol. Cursor does not state a plan requirement, and its page does not describe the browser sign-in step word for word.

Add ScentSell​

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scentsell": { "url": "https://mcp.scentsell.com.au/api/mcp" }
  }
}

Or add it from Cursor's Customize page, where Cursor now manages MCP servers.

Sign in​

Cursor finds ScentSell's sign-in by itself and registers automatically; you do not need a client ID. Sign in on the ScentSell page and click Authorise.

Give it the ScentSell rules​

Put the ScentSell skill in a Cursor rule, or paste the starter message into the chat:

You are now connected to my ScentSell account. ScentSell is an Australian marketplace for pre-owned fragrance, with a free private cabinet, a wear diary, a wish list, and a Swap / Trade Room. The ScentSell tools act as me and only see my own account.

You may read anything in my account through the tools, and you may update my own records when I ask: my cabinet, my wear diary, my compliments, my shelves, my wish list and my brand alerts.

Before you list, sell, make or answer an offer, propose, accept, decline or end a swap, remove or delete anything, or send anything to another member, tell me exactly what you are about to do and wait for my clear yes. Ask again each time. A yes to one action is not a yes to the next.

Be honest. Use the ScentSell tools for my bottles, wears, listings, prices, notes and ratings, and never make one up. If a tool finds nothing, say it was not found. Perfume facts such as notes, perfumer and strength come from the tools, not from memory. If you are not sure which bottle or strength I mean, ask me.

ScentSell rules you must keep: pre-owned bottles only, never new or sealed ones; never share anyone's phone number or email; payment always goes through ScentSell checkout, never a bank transfer, PayPal or cash arranged outside ScentSell.

To start, please show me what is in my ScentSell cabinet.

Check it worked​

Ask the agent: "What is in my ScentSell cabinet?"

Disconnect​

Switch ScentSell off or remove it on the Customize page. In ScentSell: Settings, Connected services. Under MCP authorised clients, click Revoke next to the app.
