Build Job Board Features with Adzuna MCP Server

Writing code for career platforms is much faster when your editor can actually see the live job market. Cursor uses `search_jobs` to pull real vacancies while you write the frontend components. You get actual job titles, locations, and descriptions injected right into your test data. Remember to provide a two-letter country code when asking the agent to fetch listings. The AI will grab accurate localized data, meaning you stop writing mock JSON and start designing around real API responses.

Embed Salary Distribution Charts

Plotting compensation data requires realistic numbers to get the UI right. Your agent can run `get_salary_histogram` to fetch current average pay brackets for any search query. It then writes the exact charting code needed to display that specific data structure. Tracking changes over time works the same way. By triggering `get_salary_history`, Cursor pulls historical trends for a job title and country. The AI formats this timeline perfectly for whatever graph library you happen to be using.

Generate Employer Leaderboards

Creating widgets that highlight top employers takes seconds when you have the right tool. You tell Cursor to find the biggest tech recruiters, and it runs `list_top_companies` in the background. The agent takes that list and immediately writes the React or Vue components to render it. You skip the manual API testing phase entirely because the editor already knows exactly what the data looks like.

Setup guide

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