Generate code using live Capsulink MCP Server data

The Capsulink MCP Server connects your editor directly to your link management console, letting you call `list_links` to pull active URLs straight into your codebase. Your agent writes functional code using actual destination targets instead of placeholder strings. You can ask Cursor to write a script that updates a broken link using `edit_link_destination`. The editor executes the tool and verifies the change in real-time, matching your local environment state.

Debug link redirects inside your workspace

The Capsulink debugging tools let you inspect link health using `get_link_details` to verify where shortened URLs point. If a redirect fails during local testing, you can check the configuration without leaving your active file. Cursor reads the API response directly. It pinpoints mismatched protocols or broken endpoints, helping you correct destination targets before committing your code.

Track traffic metrics while you write code

The Capsulink analytics suite monitors live click trends by running `get_link_stats` and `get_link_daily_stats` straight from the chat sidebar. This allows you to build telemetry dashboards in your app using fresh, accurate traffic numbers. Instead of guessing API payloads, your editor pulls the exact JSON structure of your link clicks. You can write precise data parsers on the first try.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Capsulink MCP in Cursor

Add the server definition to your `.cursor/mcp.json` file in your project root. Once added, enable Agent mode in the chat panel to let the editor invoke the link tools.

Yes, you can highlight any raw URL in your code and ask the editor to shrink it. The agent calls `shorten_url` and replaces the text in your active file with the shortened version.

Ask the agent to organize your URLs, and it will use `list_link_folders` to find your categories. You can then group or sort your links directly through conversational commands.

Yes, you can permanently remove inactive redirects by asking the agent to run `delete_link` on specific URL hashes.

Absolutely, because all operations run locally through your editor's runtime. Your API keys, folder structures, and link statistics are transmitted via encrypted local channels, ensuring no intermediate MCP server intercepts your link data.
