Build Google Campaign Manager 360-Powered Applications in Cursor with CData Code Assist MCP

Cursor is an AI-powered code editor that integrates agentic AI into everyday development workflows. With support for MCP, Cursor can connect to local tools and enterprise data sources directly from the editor, enabling natural language interaction with live systems without switching context.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for connecting LLM clients to external services through structured tool interfaces. MCP servers expose capabilities such as schema discovery and live querying, allowing AI agents to retrieve and reason over real-time data safely and consistently.

In this article, we guide you through installing the CData Code Assist MCP for Google Campaign Manager 360, configuring the connection to Google Campaign Manager 360, connecting the Code Assist MCP add-on to Cursor, and querying live Google Campaign Manager 360 data from within the editor.
