How to Use the Bandwidth Alternative MCP in Cursor

Q: Can I debug live voice calls using Bandwidth Alternative inside Cursor?

Yes, you can ask your agent to run listcalls to inspect recent voice sessions. This MCP setup gives you immediate visibility into call durations and statuses while you code.

Q: Does Bandwidth Alternative let Cursor send test messages?

Yes, the agent can invoke sendsms to dispatch real texts during your development cycles. This helps you verify that your messaging templates are formatted correctly.

Q: How do I find which phone numbers are configured on my account?

Ask your editor's agent to run listphonenumbers. It will display your complete active inventory directly in your sidebar.

Generate code that triggers actual phone calls and reads SMS logs directly inside Cursor.

Inject live communication data into Cursor

This MCP Server lets your editor fetch live API payloads using `get_account_info` and `list_applications` to write accurate integration code. Instead of guessing the JSON structure of a phone number payload, your agent pulls it live. Cursor uses these live schemas to write precise handlers for your communication webhooks. You get real data structures in your editor, which means fewer runtime errors when you deploy.

Test voice workflows without leaving your code

The `make_call` tool allows your agent to initiate real outbound voice tests while you edit your call routing logic. You can monitor the progress of these tests using `get_call_state` directly inside your editor's terminal or chat window. This tight loop lets you debug voice prompts and routing trees instantly. You can even list active voice sessions with `list_conferences` to ensure your conference bridges are spinning up correctly.

Verify SMS delivery during local development

Use `send_sms` to test outbound text messages directly from your workspace while writing notification services. When checking if a verification code actually went out, have your agent run `list_messages` to verify the payload. This eliminates the need to mock SMS responses or keep a separate browser tab open to check logs. You see the exact status of your outbound messages written directly into your coding environment.

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 Bandwidth Alternative 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.
