Manus + Cuiar

Manus plans the trip. Cuiar checks your prices.

  • My Computer runs the CLI
  • Add MCP by URL
  • Cloud hand-off for long tasks
Set it up Get Cuiar

Manus takes a big job and works on it for hours: an itinerary, a supplier comparison, a venue shortlist. Some steps need your own accounts, such as your Genius prices on Booking.com or your library database.

Manus gives those steps to Cuiar. Cuiar does them in your workspaces and asks you before it books or submits.

Two lanes. The top lane is Manus in the cloud: plan, research, write. The bottom lane is Cuiar on your computer. A task drops from Manus to Cuiar, Cuiar reads the member prices, and the result goes back up into the itinerary.

Setup

Your computer first, a connector second.

Manus documents My Computer for command-line tools on your computer. That is the tested path to the Cuiar app.

  1. 1

    Install the Manus Desktop app

    Sign in, open My computer and click Add Folder. Pick a work folder.

  2. 2

    Install Cuiar on the same computer

    curl -fsSL https://cuiar.com/install.sh | sh
cuiar login
  3. 3

    Name Cuiar in the task

    Manus runs the command in your terminal and asks you first: Allow Once or Always Allow.

    Run cuiar run --workspace travel "Check my Booking.com Genius prices for Kyoto, 12 to 15 April" and use the result in the plan.
  4. 4

    Add the connector too

    In Manus, open Connectors, Create, Add MCP by URL. Name: Cuiar. Manus does not say if custom servers sign in with OAuth. Older docs show a field for a Bearer token; use a key with the mcp scope there.

    https://mcp.cuiar.com/mcp

Other ways to connect

  • The API as a custom connector

    Connectors, Create, Custom API. Save the secret as CUIAR_API_KEY. Pro and Team.

    POST https://api.cuiar.com/v1/tasks          Authorization: Bearer $CUIAR_API_KEY
GET  https://api.cuiar.com/v1/tasks/{id}/events?wait=30

Route

My Computer is the documented path.

Manus documents My Computer for command-line tools on your computer. The Cuiar CLI runs there, next to the Cuiar app, and you approve each command.

Remote MCPmcp.cuiar.com/mcp
In part
Add MCP by URL takes an HTTPS server. Sign-in for custom servers is not confirmed.
Local MCPcuiar mcp
No
A command-based server would run in Manus's cloud, away from the Cuiar app.
CLIcuiar exec
Best fit
cuiar run through My Computer, with your approval.
REST APIapi.cuiar.com/v1
Works
A Custom API connector with CUIAR_API_KEY. Pro and Team.

A Manus Automation starts the next round. A Cuiar routine checks on its own schedule.

Example tasks

Steps that need your accounts

  • 01

    Plan Japan in April

    “Plan 10 days in Japan for two in April. In my Travel workspace, check my Booking.com Genius prices and ANA award seats, and compare with Trip.com. Make a day-by-day plan with three hotels per city. Book nothing.”

    cuiar tasks cloud <id> keeps it going overnight (Pro and Team).

  • 02

    Ask for quotes

    cuiar run --workspace company --folder ~/RFQ \
  "Fill in the quote form on the 15 office furniture sites in vendors.txt for 40 desks and 40 chairs delivered to Lyon, with the details in rfq.md. Ask me before each submit. Record which sites confirmed."

  • 03

    Compare laptop offers

    “Sign in to the business portals of our six laptop resellers. Get the price for 25 MacBook Air 13-inch M4 with 16 GB, with VAT, delivery date and warranty. Make a comparison sheet and pick the best two.”

  • 04

    Search a library database

    cuiar run --workspace library --permission read-only \
  "Sign in to the university library. Search Web of Science for 2020 to 2026 papers on heat pumps in multifamily housing. Export the 50 most cited references to ~/Research."

    Shortlist venues

    cuiar --odyssey "Find 8 venues in Lisbon for a 120-person offsite on 12 to 14 May 2027. Check capacity, catering, price and availability, with links."

    Manus then sends inquiry forms to the top five through Cuiar, with approvals.
