How to Use the Amplience MCP in Cursor

Q: How does the Amplience integration work inside Cursor?

You add this MCP server to your project's mcp.json file. Cursor's agent can then invoke the Amplience tools, like getcontentitem, to fetch live data and inject it directly into the code it's writing for you.

Q: Can I publish content to Amplience from Cursor?

Yes. The toolset includes publishcontentitem. You can ask the agent to update a piece of content and then immediately publish the new version to your delivery CDN, all from a chat prompt.

Q: Is this Amplience integration specific to one project in Cursor?

It can be. By placing the mcp.json file in your project root, the Amplience tools are only active for that specific project. You can also configure it globally if you want it available everywhere.

Inject live Amplience content directly into your code with Cursor's agent.

Perplexity

Pull live content into your editor

Stop mocking API responses from your CMS. With this tool, you can ask Cursor's agent to fetch real content from your Amplience account using `get_content_item` or `list_content_items`. It's the real data, live from your repository. The agent doesn't just show you the data; it can write the code to handle it. Ask it to 'fetch the latest blog post and generate a React component for it.' It will call the Amplience tools, get the response, and write the component code with the correct fields and types right in your active file.

Manage your content model from your IDE

This isn't just for front-end work. You can manage your content structure without opening a browser. Tell the agent to list your environments with `list_hubs`, check your content containers with `list_repositories`, and see how things are organized with `list_folders`. When you need to make a change, you can do it right there. The agent can use `update_content_item` to push changes or `create_content_item` to add new entries. It's like having a CMS command line, but one that also writes code for you.

A project-scoped Amplience MCP Server

Setting this up in Cursor is simple. Just add the server configuration to a `.cursor/mcp.json` file in your project's root directory. This keeps your Amplience tools scoped to the relevant project, so they're only available when you're working on that codebase. Once configured, switch to Agent mode in Cursor's chat. The agent will automatically have access to all the Amplience tools. This MCP server connection means your AI-generated code will be based on your actual, live content structures, not guesswork.

Setup guide

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

It can be. By placing the `mcp.json` file in your project root, the Amplience tools are only active for that specific project. You can also configure it globally if you want it available everywhere.

It can generate any code that consumes your content. For example, you can ask for a TypeScript interface based on a content item's schema, a component that renders a list of items from `list_content_items`, or a function to call your delivery API.

The server works with your Amplience content items and their schemas. Your connection is authenticated via a single endpoint token. Vinkius isolates every tool execution in its own sandboxed process, so your project's environment and your Amplience data remain separate and secure.
