How to Use the AntEater MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I add the AntEater configuration to my Cursor project?

You need to create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root. Add the server details there, and Cursor will instantly activate the tools for your coding agent.

Q: Can Cursor search my company's contact database using AntEater?

Absolutely. By invoking searchcontacts, your editor can find specific client details and insert them directly into your active code files.

Q: Can I use these tools in Cursor's Composer mode?

Yes, you can. Composer can call getcontacthistory to gather context across multiple files and draft detailed updates.

Generate code using real-time team activity and contact profiles directly inside Cursor.

Inject live contact data into your Cursor workspace

Writing integration tests with fake user data is a waste of time. Let Cursor run `list_contacts` to pull real, active contact profiles straight into your active file. The editor uses `search_contacts` to find specific client records. You end up with accurate mock data based on actual production shapes instead of guessing.

Track active developer status with this MCP Server

Knowing who wrote a buggy line of code is only half the battle. Use `get_user_activity` inside Cursor to see what your teammate is currently working on before you ping them. This MCP Server helps you coordinate merges by checking `list_recent_activity` first. Your coding agent can draft a Slack message to them based on their latest commits.

Debug API connections using Cursor Agent mode

When your integration fails, you do not have to guess if the API is down. Ask your editor to execute `check_anteater_status` to verify the endpoint is responding. Cursor reads the status payload directly. If the connection is broken, the editor suggests the correct configuration fixes instantly.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about AntEater MCP in Cursor

You need to create a `.cursor/mcp.json` file in your project root. Add the server details there, and Cursor will instantly activate the tools for your coding agent.

Absolutely. By invoking `search_contacts`, your editor can find specific client details and insert them directly into your active code files.

Not at all. The server runs asynchronously, meaning your editor remains fast while tools are queried in the background.

Yes, you can. Composer can call `get_contact_history` to gather context across multiple files and draft detailed updates.

Every request goes through a secure MCP sandbox. Your contact profiles are processed in-memory and are never cached or used to train public models.
