How to Use the Akeneo PIM MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure Akeneo PIM within Cursor?

You create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root and add the MCP server setup details. Once saved, Cursor loads the tools, allowing your agent to run queries against your catalog while you write code.

Q: Can Cursor automatically update my Akeneo PIM products?

Yes, the agent executes updateproduct directly from the chat window. If you ask it to fix a typo in a product name it found in your code, it runs the tool to update the PIM.

Q: How do I list localized attributes in my workspace?

Your agent runs listlocales to see which languages are active. It then uses those locale codes when calling getattributedetails to retrieve the correct translations for your codebase.

Generate code that interacts with your Akeneo PIM catalog directly inside Cursor using live product data.

Write code using live Akeneo PIM schema in Cursor

Stop hardcoding mock objects when writing ecommerce integrations. This MCP Server lets your agent query `list_attributes` and `get_attribute_details` to pull your actual catalog schema directly into your active workspace. Cursor uses this live data to generate precise TypeScript interfaces or database models. Your code matches your actual PIM setup on the first try, saving you from runtime validation errors.

Debug catalog queries with real-time product context

Troubleshooting product sync scripts becomes much simpler when your editor knows what is inside your database. Your agent calls `list_products` and `get_product_details` to inspect live SKU payloads right next to your code. If a sync script fails, ask Cursor to analyze the error against the live product state. The editor compares your local code logic with the actual JSON returned by the server to pinpoint the bug.

Verify taxonomy structures inside your editor

Mapping categories to a frontend navigation menu easily breaks your site layout. By calling `list_categories` and `get_category_details`, your agent inspects the exact nested tree structure to write accurate mapping functions. You also query `list_families` to ensure your dynamic product templates handle every family variant correctly. This gives you absolute certainty that your code matches your catalog structure.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

You create a `.cursor/mcp.json` file in your project root and add the MCP server setup details. Once saved, Cursor loads the tools, allowing your agent to run queries against your catalog while you write code.

Yes, the agent executes `update_product` directly from the chat window. If you ask it to fix a typo in a product name it found in your code, it runs the tool to update the PIM.

Yes, Agent mode is where this shines. The agent chains commands like `list_products` and `update_product` to refactor catalog records autonomously while keeping you in the loop.

Your agent runs `list_locales` to see which languages are active. It then uses those locale codes when calling `get_attribute_details` to retrieve the correct translations for your codebase.

All catalog schemas, attribute definitions, and product records remain protected because the connection runs locally or through encrypted tunnels. Vinkius handles the credentials securely, preventing your API keys from leaking into LLM training sets.
