How to use Walmart with Cursor

You want Walmart inside Cursor so it can find products that match a request, compare products before buying, research a specific product, and build a shortlist within a budget — without you copy-pasting between tabs. Here is the whole setup, once.

Create your Walmart gateway

The gateway is the thing Cursor connects to, and it is where you decide which Walmart tools an agent may use. You create it once and every client reuses it.

  1. Create an Arcade account

    Sign up and open the dashboard. The free tier is enough to follow this through.

  2. Create an MCP Gateway and select your Walmart tools

    In the dashboard, create a gateway and pick the Walmart tools you want to expose. The gateway is what your client connects to, and it is where tool access is decided.

  3. Copy your gateway URL

    Every client below needs it.

    https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/<YOUR-GATEWAY-SLUG>

Create a Walmart gateway Opens the gateway builder in your Arcade dashboard.

Connect the gateway to Cursor

Heads up

Cursor does not refresh MCP OAuth tokens automatically. For a persistent connection, set Authorization to “Arcade Headers” on the gateway in the dashboard.

  1. Open MCP settings

    Command Palette (⌘⇧P / Ctrl+Shift+P) → Open MCP Settings, then click “New MCP Server”.

  2. Add the gateway to mcpServers

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "mcp-arcade": {
          "url": "https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/<YOUR-GATEWAY-SLUG>"
        }
      }
    }

  3. Try it out

    Ask Cursor to use one of your Walmart tools.

Try these Walmart prompts

Cursor can now act on your Walmart account. Click a prompt to copy it.

Use a shared Walmart credential for read-only product searches and details, with no purchasing action exposed to the agent. Pair it with Contextual Access policies so the agent can inspect products without access beyond those allowed actions.
