Can I import a complete OpenAPI spec into an AI chat session?

Yes. Instruct the agent to run the `export_openapi` tool. It downloads the JSON metadata and safely passes it into your context. Given its size, the agent can use this massive reference guide to rapidly write tests, endpoints, or data models perfectly mimicking your production systems.

How can I check the payload requirements for a single specific route?

If you know the general area of the project, use `list_endpoints` to verify the ID. Then query `get_endpoint`. It brings back the specific HTTP verbs, query arguments, path definitions, and expected JSON body — letting your agent craft exact functional requests to external systems.

Will my Apidog tokens expire?

When generating your Personal Access Token in Apidog, you dictate the validity duration (e.g. 30 days, 1 year or never expire). If you choose a finite span, you will need to come back, generate a new token and insert it once more to reconnect the MCP server successfully.

About Apidog MCP Server

Connect your Apidog account to your AI agent and seamlessly access your API specifications, data models, and documentation through natural conversation.

Cursor's Agent mode turns Apidog into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Apidog and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 5 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.

What you can do

Discover Projects & Endpoints — Browse your active projects and list all HTTP routes without opening the Apidog client
Inspect Endpoint Schemas — Fetch the complete anatomy of any route, including its HTTP method, dynamic path params, headers, and request/response body schemas
Understand Data Models — Query active reusable schemas (DTOs, entities) defined throughout your API
Export OpenAPI Specs — Extract the complete OpenAPI 3.0 JSON specification from your team’s project to give your AI maximum context for testing or code generation

The Apidog MCP Server exposes 5 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cursor in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Apidog + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Apidog MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
