Perplexity

Code with real expense data

Mocking financial API responses leads to brittle integrations. Cursor calls `list_certify_expenses` and `list_expense_reports` in Agent mode to fetch actual spend data while you write code. Your agent sees the real JSON structure before generating a single line of frontend logic. Grabbing file attachments works the same way. When you need to handle image URLs or PDF metadata, `list_certify_receipts` gives your editor the exact payload Emburse returns in production.

Sync users and departments via MCP Server

Writing synchronization scripts usually involves guessing the API schema. Your client hits `list_certify_users` and `list_certify_departments` to pull the active employee roster directly into your workspace. Cursor then writes the mapping functions based on the live response. You never have to leave the IDE to check field names. The agent reads the exact keys for department IDs and user roles, ensuring your database migrations match the source system perfectly.

Build AP automation workflows

Developing invoice processing tools requires access to complex nested data. Cursor uses `list_invoice_reports` and `list_certify_invoices` to inspect the accounts payable queue. You get the real line-item structures fed straight into your context window. Need to map these invoices to your accounting system? The `get_gl_dimensions` tool supplies the active General Ledger categories, letting the AI generate accurate routing logic on the first try.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "certify-emburse-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }

Common questions about Certify (Emburse) MCP in Cursor

Create a `.cursor/mcp.json` file in your project root. Add the server command or remote URL under the `mcpServers` object and enable Agent mode.

You stop writing boilerplate based on outdated API docs. The editor pulls live payloads into your context, so the generated code actually works against the real endpoints.

The agent passes your search parameters directly to the underlying list tools. It returns exactly the subset of financial records you asked for.

Yes, it fetches both individual AP records and grouped reports. You can prompt the AI to write parsing logic based on those specific payloads.

The connection routes through an ephemeral zero-trust sandbox. The server accesses your GL dimensions, department lists, and receipt data only during active execution, leaving no persistent footprint.
