Code Scripts with Real Payout Data

The `list_commission_payouts` and `list_employees` tools let you write code with live data, not stale CSVs. When you're building a Python script to analyze sales performance, tell Cursor's agent to fetch the latest payout data from CaptivateIQ. The agent calls the tools and drops a clean JSON response right into your editor. You get code that's already wired to the real data structure, not some placeholder you have to fix later. It saves a ton of time.

Prototype UIs with Live CaptivateIQ Data

Use `list_payout_statements` and `get_employee_details` to build front-end components with real information. Need a simple dashboard for sales reps? Ask Cursor to generate the React component and populate it with statement data for a specific employee. This MCP Server makes prototyping real from the start. The agent uses `get_employee_details` to find the user, then `list_payout_statements` to grab their history. You can focus on the UI instead of mocking APIs.

Run Audits from Your Cursor Editor

The `list_commission_inquiries`, `list_workbooks`, and `list_worksheets` tools are perfect for quick data integrity checks. From Cursor, you can ask the agent to "list all commission inquiries" or "show me the worksheets in the Q3 workbook." This isn't just about writing new code; it's about using your editor as a command center for your data. You can pull context from CaptivateIQ without ever leaving your project files. This MCP connection keeps you in the flow.

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 CaptivateIQ 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.
