Perplexity

Live CRM Data Injection

The `list_contacts` tool queries your ActiveCampaign database while you write code in Cursor. Agent mode fetches real email addresses and profile IDs to test your API logic against actual user records. You stop writing mock data. The AI client writes integration code based on the exact JSON structure your CRM returns.

Cursor Pipeline Integration

The `list_deals` tool gives your editor read access to active opportunities in your sales pipeline. You prompt the AI to build a reporting dashboard, and it uses live deal values to populate the initial UI. Building internal tools gets much faster when your environment has real context. The MCP Server checks the deal schema directly from the source before writing the types.

Automated Profile Updates

The `create_contact` tool adds new people to your account using basic profile details. You can test signup flows by having the agent generate a test email and push it straight to the CRM. List management works through `add_contact_to_list` and `add_tag_to_contact`. The MCP Server handles the required IDs so you can verify your webhook handlers trigger the correct automation sequences.

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 ActiveCampaign 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.

Common questions about ActiveCampaign MCP in Cursor

Create an `mcp.json` file in your project root or global `.cursor` directory. Add the Vinkius MCP Server endpoint URL under `mcpServers` and enable Agent mode in the chat panel.

No. The AI client handles the authentication and tool calls automatically. You just tell it to fetch deals or tag a contact in plain English.

Ask the agent to query your account setup. Once it has the ID, it calls `add_contact_to_list` to subscribe users during your testing phase.

The Vinkius MCP Server zero-trust architecture ensures your customer emails and pipeline deals stay encrypted in transit. We handle the auth layer externally so your raw credentials never leak into your local workspace.
