Lotus MCP
Create browser automation skills by demonstration. Works with Cursor and Claude Code.
What is Lotus?
Lotus lets you create reusable browser automations ("skills") just by showing what you want to do. Demonstrate a workflow in a browser, narrate what you're doing, and Lotus converts it into an executable skill you can run anytime.
Prerequisites
macOS:
Linux:
Windows: Download and install SoX from https://sox.sourceforge.net/
Cursor Setup
1. Install
2. Configure
Create a file at ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json in your project:
Quick setup (copy-paste into terminal):
Get your API key at uselotus.ai
3. Restart Cursor
Quit and reopen Cursor. Look for the green dot next to "lotus" in Cursor Settings → MCP.
4. Create your first skill
Ask Claude:
"Create a skill to check court availability on Rec.us"
The browser opens inside Cursor. Demonstrate the workflow, then say "I'm done."
Claude Code Setup
1. Install
2. Configure
Set environment variables when prompted:

The browser opens in Chrome/Safari. Demonstrate the workflow, then say "I'm done."
