Perplexity

Live API integration for code

Stop using mock data for your flight applications. Cursor can call `get_nearest_flight` to pull actual status vectors into your editor. Your agent writes code that handles real-world responses. It saves you from debugging against fake JSON structures that don't match production.

Physical runway data access

Feed precise runway measurements and operational data into your project using `get_airport_runways`. This tool provides the physical context your software needs for accurate calculations. Instead of hunting through docs, you ask the agent to fetch the specs. It drops the values straight into your logic.

Fleet and route statistics

Pull active aircraft lists with `get_airline_fleet` to build your logic around current hardware. Use `get_airport_routes_stats` to analyze frequency patterns for your backend. These tools turn your editor into an aviation data terminal. You get the raw facts without switching windows.

Setup guide

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