How to Use the CData Connect Cloud MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure the CData Connect Cloud server for my project in Cursor?

Add the Vinkius MCP Server URL to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project's root directory. This makes the CData tools available to the Cursor agent for that specific project.

Perplexity

From Query to Code, Instantly

Stop writing code against mock data. Tell Cursor's agent to query a production API using `cdata_execute_query`. It gets a real response back and writes the code to handle it on the spot. This works for any data source you've wired up in CData. You can explore available tables with `cdata_list_tables` and `cdata_get_table_columns`, then have the agent generate typed models and data access functions for you.

Map Out Your Data Sources in Cursor

When you're coding, you don't want to switch contexts to look up a schema. Just ask the agent to describe a connection. It uses `cdata_get_schema_metadata` to give you a complete map of the data source right in the chat panel. You can also manage your connections directly. The agent can use `cdata_list_connections` to show you what's active or even set up a new one with `cdata_create_connection`. It's like having a database GUI inside your IDE.

A Single MCP Server for All Your Data

The CData Connect Cloud MCP Server acts as a single gateway. You connect all your databases and APIs—from Postgres to Salesforce—to CData once. After that, your Cursor agent can query any of them through a standard set of tools. This simplifies everything. Your agent doesn't need a different tool for every API. It just needs `cdata_execute_query` and the name of the connection, and it can get you the data you need to keep coding.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cdata-connect-cloud-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Common questions about CData Connect Cloud MCP in Cursor

Add the Vinkius MCP Server URL to your `.cursor/mcp.json` file in your project's root directory. This makes the CData tools available to the Cursor agent for that specific project.

Yes, that's exactly what it's for. You can ask it to "write a Python function that uses CData to get all orders from the `orders_production` connection." The agent will use the tools to get schema info and then generate the code.

The integration is native to the coding workflow. Cursor's agent doesn't just show you data; it uses the live data from CData Connect Cloud to generate functional, accurate code that you can use immediately.

No. The MCP Server runs on Vinkius, not your local machine. Cursor just makes secure HTTPS calls to the server when you invoke a tool, so there's no local performance hit.

CData Connect Cloud manages your connection secrets. Cursor's agent only sends the query text and receives the results for a specific task. The entire transaction happens over HTTPS, and the Vinkius server environment is ephemeral, meaning data isn't stored after the operation.
