Automate mailing workflows in Cursor

Stop switching contexts to manage your print orders. The `place_greeting_card_order` tool lets you initiate physical mailings while you write code. `get_account_info` keeps you updated on your credits and status. Your agent handles the execution, keeping your dev flow uninterrupted.

Integrate Cardly contact management into Cursor

Your agent can now handle your CRM tasks. Use `add_contact_to_list` to update your recipient database as you build out your application logic. `list_contact_lists` lets you see your groups, ensuring you send your mail to the right cohort. It turns your editor into a command center for your physical outreach.

Visualize card previews inside Cursor

See your design choices before you commit. The `preview_greeting_card` tool generates the card view so you can verify the output right in your chat panel. Need to check the artwork library? Use `list_card_artwork` to pull the latest designs into your workspace. It removes the need to leave the editor for design assets.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Cardly MCP in Cursor

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root or your home directory. Paste the server configuration, save it, and enable Agent mode. Your tools will be ready in the chat bar.

Absolutely, as long as you provide the order parameters in your prompt. The agent executes the request and returns the order confirmation to your chat log. It makes physical mail part of your build process.

No, it only interacts with the mailing API via your specified tools. Your source code remains untouched by the server. It strictly serves as a bridge for external communication tasks.

The server processes mailing addresses as transient tokens to complete the print order. Your sensitive contact information is never persisted in your editor's memory. Security is handled via your private API token.

Run the `verify_api_connection` tool to check your status instantly. It confirms your key is valid and the server is reachable. This prevents errors before you try to place a live order.
