How to Use the ArborNote MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I connect the ArborNote MCP Server to Cursor?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project's root directory. Add the ArborNote server details from Vinkius to the mcpServers key. Once you save the file, the tools are available in Cursor's Agent mode.

Q: Can the Cursor agent generate code that uses my ArborNote data?

Yes, that's the main point. The agent calls tools like getarbornoteclient to get real data, then uses that data to write functional code. You get scripts that work with your actual clients and projects from the start.

Q: Can I manage ArborNote proposals from inside Cursor?

You can view them. Use listarbornoteproposals to see all open bids or getarbornoteproposal to pull details for a specific one. This is great for getting context while building related tools.

Q: Does this work for team projects?

It can. If you commit the .cursor/mcp.json file to your Git repository, anyone who clones the project will have the same ArborNote tools configured automatically.

Your MCP Server for client scripting

This MCP server gives your Cursor agent direct access to your ArborNote client database. When you're writing a script, you can ask the agent to fetch real client info using `get_arbornote_client` or `list_arbornote_clients`. No more placeholder data or manual lookups. The agent doesn't just show you the data; it writes the code to use it. Ask it to "write a Python script that emails all clients," and it will use `list_arbornote_clients` to get the real list and generate the working code on the spot. You can also create and update records with `create_arbornote_client` and `update_arbornote_client`.

Build reports from project data

Stop exporting CSVs. Your agent can pull project and proposal data directly into your editor with `list_arbornote_projects` and `list_arbornote_proposals`. It's useful for building custom reports or internal dashboards. If you need to analyze a specific job, use `get_arbornote_project` to get its full details. Your agent can then structure that data into a class, a JSON object, or whatever format you need for the code you're writing.

Automate financial and health checks

You can build internal tools that monitor your business. Have your agent use `get_arbornote_metrics` to pull financial totals from ArborNote. It's perfect for creating scheduled scripts that post daily metrics to Slack. For maintenance and ops, the agent can use `check_api_health` to confirm the ArborNote API is responding. This lets you build simple, automated status checkers into your CI/CD pipeline or internal admin panels.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

The integration only accesses your ArborNote data—client lists, project specs, proposal amounts—when your agent explicitly calls a tool. The Vinkius MCP server processes the request and response but doesn't log or retain the payload. It's a pass-through system designed for security.
