Generate Code with Live Data

Use the Cakemail tools to pull real contact or campaign data that Cursor's agent can use to write code. Instead of mock data, you get actual results from `list_contacts` or `get_campaign` to build with. Tell the agent, 'Write a Python script to fetch contacts from the "Beta Testers" list.' It will use the `list_contacts` tool from this MCP server to get real data and generate working code with it, not just placeholders.

Manage Cakemail from the Editor

Create new campaigns and contact lists without leaving your coding session. The agent can use `create_campaign` and `create_contact_list` based on your instructions, saving you a trip to the browser. You're in the middle of writing a signup flow and need a new list for it. Just tell Cursor: 'Create a new Cakemail list called "New Signups".' Done. You stay focused on the code.

Check Analytics Inside the Cursor MCP Server

Pull the latest campaign performance metrics right into your chat panel. The `get_analytics` tool gives your agent instant access to your Cakemail logs. This lets you quickly check if that last email blast actually worked. Ask 'Show me the latest analytics from Cakemail,' and the data appears next to your code. No context switching, no lost momentum.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Cakemail MCP in Cursor

Create a `.cursor/mcp.json` file in your project's root directory and add the Cakemail server details there. This makes the tools available to Cursor's agent whenever you're working in that project.

Yes. Activate agent mode and instruct it to 'add contact@email.com to my "Newsletter" list in Cakemail.' The agent will use the `create_contact` tool to perform the action.

No, it doesn't. You connect to the managed MCP server with a single Vinkius token. All the Cakemail API authentication is handled by the server, so you don't have to juggle keys in your editor.

You can. Just ask the agent to 'list all my campaigns from Cakemail.' It will run the `list_campaigns` tool and show you the results directly in the chat interface.

This MCP server only interacts with your Cakemail campaign records and contact information. When you use a local project configuration (`.cursor/mcp.json`), the connection between Cursor and Cakemail is direct. Your Vinkius token authenticates the requests, which are ephemeral and isolated in a V8 sandbox.
