Use Cursor on its own to write email templates as code, generate images into your project and keep brand notes in Rules.
Connect Cursor to Brew and it designs on-brand emails, sends them from your domain to your list and runs your automations, with you approving every send.
THE BROWSERCOMPANY
What Cursor can do for your email on its own, and what changes when it connects to Brew.
| Cursor alone |   Cursor + Brew | |
|---|---|---|
| Key differences | ||
| Designs finished, on-brand emails | Cursor alone: Partly. Partly: Writes HTML templates as code; you design them | Cursor + Brew: Yes. Layout, copy and images from your brand, ready to send |
| Renders correctly in every inbox | Cursor alone: No. Its browser is not an inbox; nothing on email clients | Cursor + Brew: Yes. Email-safe HTML, with inbox rendering tests |
| Sends from your own domain | Cursor alone: No. No email sending | Cursor + Brew: Yes. From your verified domain, once you approve |
| Keeps contacts, audiences and unsubscribes | Cursor alone: No. No contact list, audiences or opt-outs | Cursor + Brew: Yes. Unlimited contacts, audiences and opt-outs in one place |
| Runs automations from your product’s events | Cursor alone: Partly. Partly: Automations run agents; nothing sends email | Cursor + Brew: Yes. Stripe, Shopify, Clerk, Supabase or your own events |
| Shows what happened after you send | Cursor alone: No. No opens, clicks or inbox placement data | Cursor + Brew: Yes. Opens, clicks and inbox placement tests |
| Cursor alone | Cursor + Brew | |

| Remembers your brand for every email | Cursor alone: Partly. Partly: Rules hold brand notes | Cursor + Brew: Yes. Brand files your agent reads every time |
| Edit the design by hand | Cursor alone: Partly. Partly: Edit the code, not a visual layout | Cursor + Brew: Yes. Infinite canvas, by hand or in chat |
| Work on emails as a team | Cursor alone: Partly. Partly: Team rules and shared MCP servers | Cursor + Brew: Yes. Unlimited seats and comments on every email |
| Sending and compliance | ||
| Unsubscribe links and suppression | Cursor alone: No. Nothing to add or honor unsubscribes | Cursor + Brew: Yes. Opt-outs honored on every send |
| Domain health and gradual sending | Cursor alone: No. No sending domain to set up or warm up | Cursor + Brew: Yes. Domain checks, plus Gradual send for new domains |
| Pricing | ||
| What it costs | Cursor alone: MCP on every plan; Premium $30 a month | Cursor + Brew: Brew from $99/month: 10,000 AI credits and 50,000 sends |
Cursor’s MCP docs name no plan. Cursor is now sold through the X Subscription: Free, Plus at $8 a month, and Premium at $30 with cloud agents and Automations.
Brew is billed on emails sent and AI credits, with unlimited contacts on every plan: a free trial with 500 AI credits and 1,000 sends, then Growth at $99/month for 10,000 AI credits and 50,000 sends.
Cursor connects to remote MCP servers in the editor and the CLI, with no plan named in its MCP docs.
Start a free trial, paste your website so Brew writes your brand files, and connect your sending domain.
Add "brew" with the URL https://brew.new/api/mcp to ~/.cursor/mcp.json, or to .cursor/mcp.json in your project.
Open Customize, make sure Brew is on and sign in when Cursor runs the OAuth flow.
Ask for the email or flow. Cursor asks before each MCP tool call by default, and Brew asks before anything sends.
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Grok over MCP and your agent gets every Brew tool. It designs emails from your brand, builds audiences, runs automations and schedules sends. OAuth and organization-scoped MCP connections ask you to confirm live sends and launches. Brand-scoped API keys can execute permitted calls without the MCP confirmation step.
Paste your website and Brew writes your brand into two files your agent reads for every email. Describe the email and it appears on the canvas, ready to edit by hand or in chat.

Cursor’s MCP docs name no plan requirement. Cloud agents and Automations, which can run Brew in the background, start at Premium ($30 a month).
Cursor writes good copy, but on its own it does not design the email from your brand. Brew does: it writes your brand into files your agent reads for every email, then designs the layout, copy and images and tests how it renders.
No. Over OAuth, Brew asks you to confirm before anything is sent or goes live, so the assistant drafts and you approve.
