Perplexity

Use Apidog schemas inside Cursor

Your AI agent in Cursor needs real context to write working code. Use `list_schemas` to pull your DTOs and entities directly into the editor context. This prevents the common issue of the agent hallucinating fields. You see the source of truth, not a guess.

Fetch live endpoints in Cursor

Stop hardcoding your API paths. Call `get_endpoint` during your coding session to confirm the exact request parameters for any route in your project. Cursor injects these details right into your open file. It saves you from constant tab switching to check documentation.

Sync your Apidog workspace

Keep your project structure aligned with your code. Using `list_projects` in Cursor lets you select the exact workspace you are currently working on. It keeps your agent focused on the relevant API definitions. You get faster results when the context is scoped correctly.

Setup guide

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