Perplexity

Cursor IDE Network Context

Pull live DNS stats into your editor using `get_stats`. When you're debugging connectivity issues, your agent sees the real-time data from your server. Stop guessing about network behavior. You can run `get_status` to verify your environment before you start writing code.

Manage DNS Rewrites via Cursor

Modify your local environment resolution by calling `add_rewrite`. Your agent can update your DNS map while you work on your project files. Check existing entries with `list_rewrites` to avoid conflicts. It keeps your development environment in sync with your infrastructure settings.

Automated DHCP and Client Setup

Assign static leases to your dev machines using `add_static_lease`. You can manage your entire local network topology from within your editor session. Use `search_clients` to find specific devices on your network. This keeps your local environment configuration consistent as you add new services.

Setup guide

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 AdGuard Home 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.

Verify the connection

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