How to Use the AlgoDocs MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I set up AlgoDocs inside my Cursor editor?

Add the MCP Server configuration to your project's .cursor/mcp.json file or your global settings. Once configured, enable Agent mode in the chat panel, and the editor will have immediate access to all document extraction tools.

Q: Can Cursor write parser code based on my active AlgoDocs extractors?

Yes. Cursor calls listextractors to see your current setup, then uses that schema to write custom parsing code. It ensures your application code perfectly matches the data structures returned by the API.

Q: Can I monitor my API usage while developing?

Yes. Your agent runs getapiusage to show you how many extraction credits you have spent during testing. This keeps you from running out of quota while running automated integration tests.

Generate code using live structured data from AlgoDocs right inside your Cursor editor.

Inject live extraction schemas into Cursor codebases

The `get_document_data` tool lets your Cursor agent fetch real, structured JSON payloads directly into your open file, ending the need for mock data. By using `list_extractors`, your agent inspects your active parser configurations in AlgoDocs to write precise TypeScript interfaces in Cursor. You get code that works with your actual document structures on the first run.

Automate document ingestion testing in Agent mode

The `upload_document_from_url` tool lets Cursor send test files to AlgoDocs directly from your editor. With this MCP Server, the agent pulls the results with `list_recent_documents` to verify your Cursor code handles the incoming payload correctly. It turns manual integration testing into a quick conversation with your editor.

Inspect folder structures during integration builds

The `list_folders` tool lets Cursor map out your AlgoDocs directories when building storage integrations. This direct access means your Cursor agent can write and debug directory-routing logic with actual folder IDs using `get_folder_details`. You don't have to copy-paste strings from a web dashboard into your Cursor environment variables.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about AlgoDocs MCP in Cursor

Add the MCP Server configuration to your project's `.cursor/mcp.json` file or your global settings. Once configured, enable Agent mode in the chat panel, and the editor will have immediate access to all document extraction tools.

Yes. Cursor calls `list_extractors` to see your current setup, then uses that schema to write custom parsing code. It ensures your application code perfectly matches the data structures returned by the API.

Ask the Cursor agent to check the status of a failed file using `get_document_status`. The agent will retrieve the error details and help you update your code or extraction rules to fix the issue.

Yes. Your agent runs `get_api_usage` to show you how many extraction credits you have spent during testing. This keeps you from running out of quota while running automated integration tests.

Your PDFs, images, and Word docs are processed directly by AlgoDocs over HTTPS. Cursor only receives the structured text outputs via the secure Vinkius MCP Server gateway, which uses ephemeral sandboxes that destroy data immediately after the tool execution ends.
