How to Use the Braze MCP in Cursor

Q: Can Cursor help me debug failed Braze canvas triggers?

Yes, the agent can call getcanvasdetails to inspect the journey's entry criteria. It then compares this structure against your local code to find payload mismatches.

Q: How do I track custom user events in Braze using Cursor?

You instruct the agent to run trackuser with the specific event name and attributes. It executes the call and shows you the API response right next to your code.

Q: Can I clean up my test users directly from the editor?

You can delete specific profiles by running deleteuser through the agent. This keeps your testing environment clean without leaving your coding workspace.

Build Braze Integrations in Cursor with Live Campaign Data

The `list_campaigns` tool fetches your live marketing campaigns directly into your editor's context. By combining this with `get_campaign_details`, your agent writes integration code using your actual campaign IDs and active variables instead of guessing with placeholders. This stops the cycle of copying IDs from your browser into your code. Your editor knows exactly what campaigns exist, allowing it to generate accurate, production-ready trigger scripts on the first try.

Test Trigger Payloads Directly Inside Your Editor

The `trigger_canvas` tool runs a specific journey so you can test your backend event hooks in real time. If you are working on standard transactional messages, `trigger_campaign` sends the API call with your test payloads directly from the agent panel. You don't need to jump to a terminal or a REST client to verify your payload structure. The agent executes the call, reads the response, and helps you debug any validation errors on the spot.

Inspect and Manage User Profiles During Development

The `export_user_ids` tool pulls real user profile data directly into your workspace to let you inspect custom attributes. When verifying signup flows, `identify_user` and `track_user` let you simulate user actions and check if profiles merge correctly. If your test runs clutter your database, `delete_user` purges those specific test profiles instantly. This keeps your development environment clean through this MCP setup.

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 Braze 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.
