How to Use the Basis Technologies MCP in Cursor

Q: Will Cursor write better API code using Basis Technologies data?

Yes. Because the editor reads live responses from gettactic, it knows the exact fields the DSP returns. It writes types and interfaces based on reality, not documentation.

Build custom marketing dashboards by pulling live Basis DSP campaign data directly into your Cursor environment.

Write API integrations with real DSP data

The `get_campaign` tool fetches actual Basis campaign structures while you write your internal dashboard code. Your agent sees the exact JSON schema returned by the DSP, meaning it writes parsing logic that works on the first try. You stop guessing what the API response looks like. Cursor injects live flight dates and budget figures right into your test files, letting you build frontend components against real marketing data.

Generate reporting scripts via MCP Server

Triggering `get_campaign_performance` gives Cursor the raw metric data needed to write custom Python reporting scripts. The editor understands the exact structure of your ad spend and conversion events. Instead of mocking up fake performance numbers, you run `get_tactic_performance`. The agent uses those real line-item metrics to build accurate data transformation pipelines for your data warehouse.

Audit ad configurations automatically

Calling `list_ads` through this MCP server lets your editor inspect every creative currently loaded into your account. You prompt the agent to write validation scripts that check for missing tracking pixels or incorrect URL parameters. When you need to verify brand setups, `list_brands` pulls the full advertiser list. Cursor then generates the exact SQL or application logic needed to sync that hierarchy with your internal database.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Basis Technologies MCP in Cursor

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root and add the Vinkius server URL. Toggle Agent mode on in the chat panel to give the editor access to the tools.

Yes. Because the editor reads live responses from get_tactic, it knows the exact fields the DSP returns. It writes types and interfaces based on reality, not documentation.

You test them against live data without leaving the IDE. The agent pulls actual client lists via list_clients to populate your development environment.

The tools always fetch the current state of the DSP. If a field name changes, the agent sees the new structure the next time it runs get_ad.

Vinkius manages the connection to Basis, so your local machine never stores the root API keys. The ephemeral zero-trust architecture ensures your brand hierarchies and tactic performance metrics are only accessed during the exact moment the tool executes.
