How to Use the BugSnag MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure BugSnag in my Cursor workspace?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root and define the BugSnag MCP Server. Cursor loads the tools instantly, allowing Agent mode to query your errors.

Q: Can Cursor write code based on a specific BugSnag event?

Yes, the agent calls getevent to retrieve the exact state of a crash. It then writes a patch matching the file and line number from the stack trace.

Q: How does Cursor fetch the list of active BugSnag errors?

The agent invokes listerrors with your project ID. It displays the most critical unresolved error groups directly in your chat sidebar.

Generate fixes in Cursor using live BugSnag error data and real-time project statistics.

Fix active crashes directly in your Cursor editor

The `get_event` tool feeds raw BugSnag crash payloads directly into Cursor's Agent mode. Your editor reads the exact stack trace and immediately generates a targeted code fix in your active file. Because the agent runs `get_error` to see the broader error group, it doesn't just patch a symptom. It analyzes the full history of the crash to write a permanent solution.

Monitor project health with this MCP Server

The `list_errors` tool retrieves the latest unresolved issues for your current project. Cursor displays this active bug list right next to your codebase so you can prioritize what to write next. Your agent can run `get_project_stats` to verify if your local changes will address the most frequent crashes. You write code against real production metrics instead of guesswork.

Contextualize errors across release stages

The `list_release_stages` tool identifies which environments are throwing the most errors. Cursor uses this information to determine if a bug is a local configuration issue or a production blocker. By calling `list_projects`, your editor matches your current local directory to the correct BugSnag project. This ensures the agent never pulls crash data from the wrong repository.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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