How to Use the AirLabs MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I get AirLabs tools to show up in Cursor?

Add the AirLabs MCP server URL to your project's .cursor/mcp.json file. Once you save the file and switch to Agent mode, the tools will be available to the agent.

Q: What's the best way to use AirLabs and Cursor for a travel app?

Start by having the agent use getschedules to build out your core flight search logic. Then, use getflightinfo to create a real-time status tracking feature. Cursor and AirLabs work together to pull live data directly into your codebase.

Inject live flight data, airport codes, and airline fleets directly into your code with AirLabs and the Cursor agent.

Build Apps with Real Flight Data

Tell the Cursor agent to fetch active flights with `get_flights` and watch it write the code to parse the response. You're not working with stale mock data. You're building your app with live positions, altitudes, and speeds for flights in the air right now. Need to test a function that handles flight status? Ask the agent for details on 'UA123' using `get_flight_info`. It will call the tool, get the real-time status, and generate a test case using that live data. This closes the gap between your editor and the real world.

Populate Your UI with AirLabs Data

Stop hardcoding airport dropdowns. Have the Cursor agent use `autocomplete_airport` to generate a list of matching airports as you type, complete with IATA codes. It can then wire up a call to `get_airport_delays` to show live delay stats for the selected airport. Working on a fleet analysis tool? Ask the agent to 'get the fleet for American Airlines' using `get_airline_fleet`. It will generate the code to fetch and display the entire list of aircraft, their types, and their ages. The MCP Server handles the API call; you just focus on the code.

Code Against Real Airline Schedules

When you're building a travel app, you need real route data. Use `get_airline_routes` to have the agent write functions that can check if an airline flies between two cities. It pulls the actual route map, so your logic is based on reality. You can also generate code that works with flight timetables. Ask the agent to fetch the schedule from JFK to LAX for next Tuesday using `get_schedules`. It will pull the data and write the necessary structures and functions to handle it in your language of choice.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "airlabs-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }

Common questions about AirLabs MCP in Cursor

Add the AirLabs MCP server URL to your project's `.cursor/mcp.json` file. Once you save the file and switch to Agent mode, the tools will be available to the agent.

Yes, that's the whole point. Ask the Cursor agent to get you the current departure board for LAX. It will use the `get_flights_by_airport` tool from AirLabs and then write the code to handle that exact data structure.

Start by having the agent use `get_schedules` to build out your core flight search logic. Then, use `get_flight_info` to create a real-time status tracking feature. Cursor and AirLabs work together to pull live data directly into your codebase.

Absolutely. Just ask the agent to 'get the fleet for Delta' and it will use the `get_airline_fleet` tool. You'll get back a list of every plane, its age, type, and registration number.

The server only sees the specific inputs for the tool being called, like an airport IATA code for an airport query. Vinkius runs the server in a zero-trust environment, and your code and authentication tokens never leave your machine.
