Perplexity

Inject live model metrics into your code

`get_metrics` grabs actual performance data from your monitored endpoints while you write code. Cursor reads these drift statistics and injects them as real test cases or fallback thresholds right into your editor. Developers stop guessing what the production latency looks like. The AI pulls the exact numbers and writes the corresponding logic based on live system behavior.

Test guardrails inside this MCP integration

`validate_guardrails` evaluates the prompt arrays you are writing against toxicity and off-topic rules. Running the check in the background happens while you draft the application logic. When a prompt fails the safety check, you fix it immediately in the IDE. Catching these errors early prevents you from pushing vulnerable or toxic prompts to your staging environment.

Map your observability infrastructure

`list_models` and `list_monitors` return the exact configurations running in your Aporia workspace. Querying your AI client lists the active rules and outputs the IDs you need for your API calls. Testing a specific rule requires `trigger_monitor` to force a run. You verify that your newly written code actually triggers the correct safety alerts.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Aporia MCP in Cursor

Create an `mcp.json` file in your project root or global settings folder. Add the server command or remote URL, then enable Agent mode in your chat panel.

Your agent can write tests by validating your prompt arrays against the guardrails. It uses the real validation responses to structure your test assertions.

Yes. The agent pulls your workspace configurations and lists the available dashboards so you know which views track your current project.

You force an immediate evaluation to confirm the drift. Then, you adjust your prompt or logic directly in the codebase.

Prompt arrays and telemetry statistics never leak between projects. The zero-trust architecture guarantees that the specific message payloads you test against toxicity guardrails through this MCP connection only execute within that single, ephemeral session.
