How to Use the Atlassian Crowd MCP in Cursor

Q: Can I find specific users in Atlassian Crowd from inside Cursor?

Yes. Tell the agent what you're looking for. It can use searchusersbyname for simple prefix searches or searchusersbyattribute for more complex queries, then inject the results directly into your code.

Q: What's the best way to check group permissions for Atlassian Crowd with Cursor?

Ask the agent to use the listusermemberships tool on a user ID. It will return a list of all groups that user belongs to, which you can then use to test permission-based logic in your code.

Pull live Atlassian Crowd user data directly into your code with Cursor. Stop mocking user objects and build with real directory info.

Inject Real User Data

This tool connects Cursor to your live Atlassian Crowd directory. Ask the agent to fetch a user profile with `get_user_details`, and it will generate code with the actual data structure and content. No more writing stubs or using fake user info. You can also get lists of users, like all active accounts with `list_active_users`, and have Cursor structure that data into an array or list in your current file. It's a huge time-saver when you're building features that depend on user directory information.

Script with Group Data from your MCP Server

Tell Cursor's agent to check group memberships. Use `list_user_memberships` to get all the groups for a specific user, or use `list_group_members` to see everyone in a particular project group. The agent can then use this info to write conditional logic in your code. This means you can prototype access control logic or build admin scripts right in your editor. For instance, ask Cursor to generate a script that fetches all members of the 'admins' group. The MCP server handles the Crowd API calls.

Prototype User Provisioning

This tool lets you provision new Atlassian Crowd users directly from the editor. Ask Cursor's agent to use the `create_new_user` tool with a name, email, and password. It's perfect for quickly setting up test accounts while you're developing. You can even combine tools. Ask the agent to create a user and then immediately check the result with `get_user_details`. The agent understands how to chain these actions, making it easy to script complex setup procedures without leaving your code.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json
