Write code using live requirements from this MCP Server

Feeding requirements straight to your editor is handled by `get_feature` in real time. Your Cursor Agent uses this tool to pull the exact engineering requirements and acceptance criteria directly into your active editor session. The editor reads the live API response to generate functions that match your product manager's specifications. You get accurate code on the first try without leaving your workspace to double-check details.

Map code changes to Aha! releases inside Cursor

Aligning your branch strategy with upcoming launches works best when `list_releases` pulls the schedule. Run this tool to identify the active sprint target and verify which branch your code belongs to. Your agent looks at the release schedule and suggests the correct branch names or tags. This keeps your git history clean and ensures your commits match the product roadmap perfectly.

File technical debt ideas without leaving your code

Filing technical debt takes seconds when you trigger `create_idea` from your cursor terminal. Use this tool to log a technical improvement ticket directly from your active file or chat panel. This creates a structured feedback item in your PM's inbox so they can prioritize it. You keep typing your code while the agent handles the ticket creation in the background.

Setup guide

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