Sync BugHerd tasks with Cursor

Feed real-time task data directly into your editor. When you run `list_tasks` or `get_task`, the output lands right in your context window for the agent to read. This means the code you write is based on current requirements. You don't have to copy-paste snippets or manually verify task IDs anymore.

Update BugHerd records from Cursor

Finish a bug fix and close the loop without leaving your IDE. Use `update_task` to mark items as complete or shift priorities based on your current coding progress. The agent handles the API calls while you focus on the logic. It’s a clean way to keep your project management status current while you're deep in the implementation.

Query project comments in Cursor

Need to know the backstory of a specific bug? Use `list_comments` to pull the thread into your active session. Your agent can read these comments to understand edge cases or previous failed attempts. It turns historical feedback into immediate development context.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about BugHerd MCP in Cursor

Define the server in your .cursor/mcp.json file. Once you enable Agent mode, the BugHerd tools will be available for your AI to call.

Absolutely. You can create, read, and update tasks without ever switching away from your editor. It's built to keep you in the flow.

The server operates inside a Vinkius-managed sandbox. Your task details and project metadata are never exposed to unauthorized parties, and every request is signed with your secure token.

Yes. The agent can trigger any of the ten available tools to fetch project data or push updates. It treats your BugHerd account as a live data source.
