How to Use the Axiom MCP in Cursor

Q: Can I delete old Axiom datasets from Cursor?

The agent has access to the deletedataset tool. You must explicitly ask it to remove the data, and it will execute the deletion command.

Inject live Axiom log data into your codebase while you write using the Cursor agent.

Query Live Logs Mid-Code

The `run_query` tool lets the Cursor agent pull actual production logs while you write the fix. You ask the editor to find recent errors in a specific dataset, and it retrieves the exact stack traces. Writing tests based on real-world edge cases takes seconds instead of hours. The agent reads the APL output and generates unit tests that match the exact data structures your app is already throwing.

Provision Axiom Monitors via MCP Server

Setting up alerts happens directly from your editor using the `create_monitor` and `create_notifier` tools. You define the logic in your code, and the agent configures the matching alert rules in your infrastructure. Checking existing thresholds is just as simple. Calling `list_monitors` brings your current alerting rules right into your IDE context so you avoid creating duplicates.

Manage Datasets and Dashboards

Creating new storage buckets for your metrics requires one prompt that triggers `create_dataset`. The AI handles the API payload formatting behind the scenes. Visualizing that new data works through the `create_dashboard` command. Cursor builds the dashboard structure while you stay focused on writing the application logic.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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