How to Use the 7digital MCP in Cursor

Q: Can Cursor search 7digital for specific artists?

The agent uses the searchartist tool to find musicians by name. It returns the total number of releases and official profile URLs to use in your application.

Give Cursor Agent access to the 7digital API to inject live track metadata, preview URLs, and album details directly into your code.

Query 7digital album metadata from Cursor

Code generation improves when your AI client runs `search_release` to pull actual album titles, artists, and release dates into your editor. You stop writing mock data because the agent fetches real JSON responses. Passing a country code ensures the data matches the specific region you are targeting. Expanding that data means triggering `get_release_details` with the returned release ID. Cursor reads the exact formatting of the 7digital response and writes interfaces or types that match it perfectly. The days of guessing API schemas are over.

Inject track lists and audio streams via MCP

Building a media player requires real audio, which `get_track_preview` provides by returning valid audio/mpeg URLs. The agent drops these links straight into your test files or component props. You can test your audio components immediately. Populating a tracklist UI is handled by `get_release_tracks`. Cursor retrieves track numbers, durations, and explicit content flags for a whole album. The AI uses this live array to map out your frontend components instantly.

Prototype music storefronts using the MCP Server

Testing e-commerce flows involves calling `add_to_basket` to stage a purchase. Your agent adds a release ID and retrieves the updated cart totals. Reading the current state happens through `get_basket`, which shows item prices and quantities. Generating the final payment step relies on `get_checkout_url`. Cursor fetches the live URL and wires it into your checkout button's click handler. You must supply valid 7digital developer credentials with basket access for these endpoints to resolve.

Setup guide

Set up 7digital MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the 7digital MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent 7digital transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the 7digital tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "7digital-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Common questions about 7digital MCP in Cursor

Create an mcp.json file in your project root directory. Add the 7digital server command or remote URL under the mcpServers object. Toggle Agent mode on in the chat panel to start using the tools.

The agent uses the search_artist tool to find musicians by name. It returns the total number of releases and official profile URLs to use in your application.

No, the API only supplies preview snippets. Your agent calls the get_track_preview tool to get a short audio/mpeg stream URL for testing.

You need an active developer account with explicit basket access enabled. Attempting to call cart functions without proper authentication results in an error.

Ephemeral execution means the MCP server spins up just long enough to process artist IDs, track durations, and cart totals. Vinkius destroys the sandbox immediately after the request finishes. Your local environment variables remain secure.
