Tips for Cursor

Data-informed development. Query production data while writing code. "Show me the most common error types in the logs table" while you're working on error handling.

Live schema for migrations. Ask Cursor to inspect your database schema when writing migrations or ORM models. It pulls the live structure from MarcoPolo.

Combine with Claude Code. If you use Claude Code inside Cursor, add MarcoPolo to Claude Code as well for the full plugin experience.
