Execute Camunda (BPMN Engine) logic in Cursor

The agent can trigger `start_process_instance` to test your code against a live engine. It writes the calls for you, so you see exactly how the variables behave. Use `search_variables` to inspect the state of a running job. You get the actual values back, allowing you to write code that reacts to real engine data.

Manage job workers with Cursor tools

You can poll for pending work using `activate_jobs`. This lets you iterate on your worker logic without manual intervention. Once your code processes the data, call `complete_job` to move the instance forward. It is the fastest way to verify your implementation works as intended.

Inspect cluster health from this MCP Server

Need to check if your engine is healthy? Call `get_topology` to see the current partition status of your cluster. This gives you instant feedback on your engine connection. If you hit an issue, `search_incidents` helps you find the root cause in the logs quickly.

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".
