How to Use the Bold MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure Bold tools inside the Cursor editor?

Add the MCP Server configuration to your .cursor/mcp.json file, either globally or just for your current project. Once configured, enable Agent mode in your chat window to start using the tools.

Q: How do I view my active card terminals in Cursor?

Ask the agent to run listterminals in your chat window. It will return a list of all bound terminals along with their current connectivity status.

Q: Can I check my merchant balance while coding?

Absolutely. Run getaccountbalance through the chat interface to see your current funds without leaving your code editor.

Build real checkout flows in Cursor Agent mode

Stop writing fake test data in your payment integrations. This MCP Server lets Cursor inspect your actual checkout setup using `list_payment_methods` so you can write code matching real-world options. When you need to test live logic, your agent can call `get_online_payment` to see how real transaction payloads look. You get working code faster because your editor sees actual API responses instead of static documentation.

Test Colombian anti-fraud compliance as you code

Building checkout funnels in Colombia requires strict compliance rules. Your agent can run `create_online_payment` directly from Cursor to test card tokenization and payer verification flows. If a test fails, you can run `get_transaction` to inspect the exact failure codes. It lets you debug anti-fraud blocks without leaving your active workspace or writing throwaway test scripts.

Configure webhooks directly from the editor

Setting up payment notifications shouldn't require clicking through a merchant dashboard. Use this MCP Server to register endpoints using `create_webhook` right inside your development loop. If you need to clean up your testing environments, have your agent run `delete_webhook` to wipe old endpoints. It keeps your webhook architecture tidy while you focus on writing the core application logic.

Setup guide

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