Sync your inventory code with Cursor

Pull real-time data into your editor while you write scripts. Call `list_items` to verify stock levels before you commit changes to your logic. The AI agent reads these responses to generate code that actually works with your current stock figures.

Automate transactions via Cursor agent mode

Let the editor handle your stock updates by invoking `create_transaction`. It logs moves and adjustments based on your specific project requirements. This removes the need for manual logging. Your code stays updated as your inventory changes.

Query custom attributes in Cursor

Retrieve specific item data using `list_attributes` to tailor your functions. It gives you the exact structure you need to build robust inventory features. You can verify account access with `get_account_info` before running bulk updates. This prevents errors in your inventory management logic.
