Perplexity

Insert verses into code with Cursor

Ask the Cursor Agent to use `get_bible_verse` when you need accurate text for your project. The agent pulls the data and formats it right where your cursor is blinking. This removes the need for mock data or manual entry. You get the real string from the server in seconds.

Audit Bible metadata in Cursor

Trigger `get_bible_details` to verify version metadata before you build your application logic. It ensures your code references the correct Bible ID every time. This is useful when you are building apps that rely on specific translation versions. You catch errors before the code runs.

Search scripture inside Cursor

Use `search_bible_text` to find relevant passages while you write your code. The results appear in the chat panel, allowing you to copy them into your source files. It saves you from switching windows to find the right quote. You stay in the flow of your implementation.

Setup guide

Set up Bible API 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 Bible API 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.

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Bible API transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Bible API tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.
