Perplexity

Search Apollo.io from Cursor

Write code that reacts to real sales data. Use `search_contacts` and `search_people` to bring live prospect info into your editor context. Cursor lets you pipe these API responses into your current file. You can build features that actually depend on your live database.

Automate sequences in Cursor

Trigger `add_contact_to_sequence` directly from your script. It is useful for testing your lead routing logic with real accounts. Manage your campaign flow by checking `list_sequences` first. You avoid hardcoding IDs when the AI can just grab the live ones.

Debug sales data in Cursor

Fetch call logs via `get_call` to see how your integration handles raw data. It saves time when you are building custom sales tools. Use `list_email_accounts` to verify your environment setup. You see the exact account state before running your code.

Setup guide

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

  "mcpServers": {
    "apolloio-mcp": {
