How to Use the Aconex MCP in Cursor

Q: Can Cursor help me search the global directory in Aconex?

Yes, it can. Your Cursor editor uses searchglobaldirectory to find specific subcontractors and inject their contact details directly into your code files or configuration scripts.

Q: Can I copy existing templates using Aconex and Cursor?

You can. Your editor can run copyproject to clone established templates, letting you automate the setup of new project environments directly from your development workspace.

Q: Do I need admin rights to use these tools in my editor?

Yes, for administrative tools like createuser or updateuserstatus. Standard tools like listprojects only require basic user credentials.

Code custom construction integrations and manage Aconex directories directly from your Cursor editor.

Build real construction workflows in Cursor

Stop writing code against fake stubs or mock construction data. While you write your scripts, Cursor uses the `list_projects` tool to pull actual workspace names and IDs directly into your active coding session. If you need to verify how your application handles document uploads, let your editor run `get_register_schema`. This pulls the live document register schema so your code matches the exact field types required by the workspace.

Automate user provisioning from your editor

Integrate user onboarding directly into your deployment scripts. This MCP Server lets Cursor call `create_user` to register new subcontractors, then immediately runs `invite_user_to_project` to drop them into the active workspace. You don't need to jump to an external portal to check who is currently active. Let your editor query `list_organization_users` or modify access states directly using `update_user_status` while you review your security code.

Manage project communication groups via MCP

Keep your communication scripts in sync with actual project structures. Cursor invokes `create_mailing_group` to set up distribution lists for engineering teams, ensuring your automated notifications land in the right inboxes. If a build phase wraps up, clean up your lists by running `delete_mailing_group`. This keeps your project directory clean and prevents developers from sending automated alerts to stale contractor groups.

Setup guide

Set up Aconex 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 Aconex 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 Aconex transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Aconex tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

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