Pull live asset data into Cursor

Stop hardcoding file paths or placeholders. Use `get_brandfolder_assets` to fetch current assets and inject their actual CDN URLs straight into your codebase. Your agent can grab `get_asset_details` to verify dimensions or types before you write a single line of CSS. It keeps your code tied to reality.

Manage assets via Cursor agent mode

Update your asset library without breaking your flow. Use `create_cms_asset` to push new files or `patch_cms_asset` to rename items while you work in the editor. It handles the heavy lifting of API communication. You focus on the implementation while the agent manages the asset state in the background.

Navigate your creative stack with this MCP server

Map out your entire organization using `list_platform_organizations` and `list_global_brandfolders`. This MCP Server acts as a directory for your creative assets. Check how files are grouped by calling `list_asset_tags`. It ensures your code references the right assets based on their actual platform metadata.

Setup guide

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