Constructing the Request

The easiest way to construct the request is to use the Pica MCP Server in your IDE. In Cursor, open the MCP Settings and add the following: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pica": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@picahq/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PICA_SECRET": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}
Once you’ve added the MCP Server, you can simply prompt Cursor to construct the request for you based on all the specific details (filters, fields, etc.) you need.
