How to Use the Axle MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I set up the Axle MCP Server in Cursor?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project's root directory. Add the Axle server details from Vinkius, and Cursor's agent will automatically pick up the tools.

Q: Can I use Axle and Cursor to generate code that finds a vehicle's last location?

Yes. In Cursor's chat, tell the agent to use getvehiclelocation for a specific vehicle. It will not only fetch the data but can also write the code function for you that makes that API call.

Q: Can I update a driver's status from within Cursor?

You can. The updatedriverstatus tool is available to the agent. You can instruct it to change a driver's status, and it will perform the action.

Inject live fleet and driver data directly into your code with Cursor. Build logistics apps with real-time context, not mock data.

Code with Live Fleet Data

This MCP Server connects Cursor to your live Axle data. Instead of hardcoding vehicle IDs or locations, ask your agent to `get_vehicle_location` or `list_vehicles` and inject the response directly into your editor. You're building with real data from the start. This is a huge time-saver. Need a list of drivers for a dropdown? `list_drivers` gives you the real list. Writing a function to check hours? `get_driver_availability` provides the actual data structure you need to work with.

Build Scripts That Manage Loads

The `get_load` and `list_loads` tools let your agent fetch shipment information while you code. Need to write a script that processes active loads? Tell the agent to get them, and it will generate the code boilerplate with the correct data format. You can also build tools that modify data. Use `update_load` to script changes to shipments. The agent can generate the function call, and you can run it right from your project to see the effect on your live system.

Instantly Verify Your Axle MCP Server

The `get_account_check` tool is a simple but critical utility for any developer. It confirms that your Cursor agent can successfully communicate with the Axle MCP Server. No more guessing if your credentials or endpoint are correct. Before you start building, just ask your agent to run the account check. You'll get a quick success or failure message, letting you debug connection issues immediately instead of halfway through writing a complex function.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Yes. In Cursor's chat, tell the agent to use `get_vehicle_location` for a specific vehicle. It will not only fetch the data but can also write the code function for you that makes that API call.

Just ask the agent to 'list all drivers using the Axle tool'. It will call `list_drivers` and can insert the resulting array of driver objects directly into your code.

You can. The `update_driver_status` tool is available to the agent. You can instruct it to change a driver's status, and it will perform the action.

Axle processes specific driver, vehicle, and load data only for the duration of a command. The Vinkius MCP Server that powers it is sandboxed and ephemeral. Data passes through; it doesn't stay.
