Hex updates Cursor plugin with new skills

Hex has updated its Cursor integration and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server across the board, introducing new and improved skills for the AI coding assistant. This update allows developers to search Hex projects, run interactive SQL and Python cells, and access data analytics directly within the editor interface.

// ANALYSIS

Bringing data science notebooks and analytics environments directly into the IDE via MCP is a major productivity boost for developer workflows.

–Eliminates context-switching between the local code editor and browser-based notebook tabs when querying datasets.
–Leverages Cursor's agentic capabilities to orchestrate data tasks, allowing the editor's AI to execute actions inside the Hex workspace.
–Highlights the growing momentum of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) as a standard for bridging SaaS tools and AI-driven development.
–Integrates seamlessly with Hex's secure OAuth flow, ensuring enterprise data connections are accessible safely within local editor contexts.
