How to Use the Campinas Open Data MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I add the Campinas Open Data MCP Server to Cursor?

Create an mcp.json file in your project root directory. Add the server details under the mcpServers key and toggle Agent mode on in your chat panel.

Q: Will Cursor write code based on the portal responses?

Yes. The agent executes tools like getpackage and reads the schema. It then generates TypeScript interfaces or Python classes that match the live data structure perfectly.

Q: Can I search Campinas Open Data by tags in Cursor?

Yes, you can. Tell your agent to run listtags to see available categories. You can then instruct it to filter datasets based on those specific tags.

Q: Does this MCP Server download the actual CSV files into my workspace?

No, it provides the metadata and URLs. Your agent can use getresource to find the download link and then write a Python or Node script to pull the file into your local directory.

Inject real municipal data from Campinas directly into your Cursor environment while writing code for civic applications.

Perplexity

Prototype civic apps with real data

This MCP Server fetches real municipal datasets while you build civic applications. Building dashboards with fake data wastes time because you eventually have to write the real API integration anyway. Cursor can hit the `search_packages` tool while you type to find actual Campinas data instead of relying on mock responses. Your AI client then writes the fetch functions using the real metadata. You get working code that handles the actual schemas from the city portal instead of guessing what the JSON response might look like.

Query Campinas Open Data via MCP Server

The server queries city departments directly from your editor pane. Hardcoding department IDs is a terrible practice. Instead of looking them up manually, you can tell Agent mode to run `list_organizations` and `list_groups` to pull the exact department structures. Cursor reads the output and generates the exact constants or enums you need for your application. You stay focused in the editor while the agent maps out the city departments.

Automate resource discovery

This tool locates specific public record files for your ingestion scripts. You can skip reading outdated API documentation by having your agent run `search_resources` to find the exact files your script needs to process. Once it finds the target, it uses `get_resource` to grab the download URL. The agent then writes the download and parsing logic based on the actual file format returned by the city.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "campinas-open-data-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }
