Build Breathwork Logic

Writing a health app? This MCP lets you calculate accurate breath cycles for techniques like Box Breathing. You can get the total duration of one full cycle and inject that precise number directly into your code's logic. This means your AI agent writes working functions using real timing data, not just mock stubs.

Generate Guided Schedules for Cursor

Need a breathing routine? Use the MCP to generate structured schedules based on a total time goal. Your code can call this tool and receive a validated sequence of timings, allowing you to build complex, timed user experiences. It’s perfect for ensuring your application adheres strictly to physiological timing rules.

Query Breathing Parameters in Code

Don't want to hardcode the numbers? You can query default breathing parameters. This tool gives you the standard inhale, hold, and exhale counts for various techniques. Your agent uses this info to write accurate validation checks. It keeps your code clean and makes it easy to swap out timing logic later.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "breathing-timer-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }

Common questions about Breathing Timer MCP in Cursor

The server lets the AI call breathing tools while you're mid-write. You get live, real API responses—like a schedule duration—that it injects directly into the code block you need to finish.

Yes. It's excellent for unit tests where you need to confirm that your logic correctly handles specific timing math, like calculating a single cycle duration.

It deals with structured time data: cycles, durations, and parameters. The information is purely quantitative counts (seconds) that you can feed into your code base.

Mock data only simulates success. Using the actual Breathing Timer MCP means the AI agent uses real, validated timing calculations, ensuring your final code runs with accurate physiological pacing.

You add the server to your project scope by creating a `.cursor/mcp.json` file and adding the necessary connection details there.
