# Outlevo quickstart for Cursor

1. In Outlevo: Settings → API keys → create a **test** key (sandbox: fake data, no credits).
2. Keep OUTLEVO_KEY in .env (gitignored).
3. Paste this prompt:

> Read https://developers.outlevo.com/llms.txt. Using @outlevo/sdk on the server only, list my Outlevo sandbox companies, qualify one unresearched company (quote first, then confirm), wait for the job, and show the result. Add a webhook route that verifies Outlevo-Signature with OUTLEVO_WEBHOOK_SECRET and logs company.qualified events. Never put OUTLEVO_KEY in frontend code.

4. For Readiness Cards in your UI, add the proxy template for your stack (Next.js, Express or Supabase Edge Function) and render `<ReadinessCard>` from @outlevo/components.

## MCP

Add to `.cursor/mcp.json`:

```json
{ "mcpServers": { "outlevo": { "url": "https://api.outlevo.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:OUTLEVO_KEY}" } } } }
```

Switch to a live key only on the server, after your plan includes it.
