How to Use the ArcXP MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I query ArcXP content directly from Cursor?

You call the searchanscontent tool within the Cursor Agent panel. This pulls live ANS JSON objects directly into your active coding workspace.

Q: Can Cursor help me update ArcXP articles using this server?

Yes, the updateanscontent tool lets Cursor modify live stories. You pass the updated ANS JSON payload from your editor to apply edits instantly.

Q: How do I configure ArcXP credentials inside Cursor?

Add the MCP server configuration to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root. Cursor reads this file to connect the toolset to your active Agent session.

Q: Can I fetch media metadata while coding in Cursor?

Yes, you use getvideoasset and getphotoasset within Cursor to fetch asset schemas. This lets you inspect media properties without leaving your code editor.

Live ANS Schema Validation inside Cursor

The `get_ans_content` tool pulls real production JSON from your CMS directly into your Cursor editor. You write code against actual ArcXP payloads instead of guessing the structure from stale documentation. When building frontends, Cursor uses this live data to generate precise TypeScript types. You run tests against actual production articles, ensuring your rendering code never breaks on unexpected null values.

Rapid Newsroom Search via Cursor Agent

The `search_ans_content` tool runs deep queries across your ArcXP newsroom database directly from the Cursor sidebar. Your Cursor agent scans articles to find specific patterns or legacy code blocks you need to refactor. Pairing this tool with `get_photo_asset` lets you inspect how media assets link to specific stories. You debug layout bugs in your editor using the exact media payloads your production API serves.

Safe CMS Updates using this MCP Server

The `update_ans_content` tool pushes code-generated CMS updates directly from your Cursor terminal using this MCP Server. You script bulk content migrations and let Cursor execute them field-by-field. If you need to purge test pages, the `delete_ans_content` tool destroys specified assets permanently. Cursor manages the API calls safely, letting you clean up your ArcXP dev environment with single commands.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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