Perplexity

Feed raw code and docs directly into your datastores

The `upsert_datasource` tool lets your editor send local files, code snippets, or documentation URLs straight to your knowledge base. Your AI client reads your workspace files and writes them directly to your remote database in one step. Use `list_datastores` to verify which repositories are active before you push new data. This keeps your local development environment perfectly in sync with your cloud-hosted knowledge bases.

Control agent behavior using this Cursor MCP Server

The `create_agent` tool lets you generate new support or internal bots using system prompts written right in your editor. You can draft complex prompts in a local markdown file and have Cursor create the live agent instantly. When you need to edit an agent's configuration, run `update_agent` to push your local prompt changes live. Cleaning up old experiments is simple because `delete_agent` handles it without requiring a trip to the web dashboard.

Inspect live customer conversations while you write code

The `list_conversations` tool pulls actual user chats directly into your editor sidebar. You don't have to guess how users interact with your support bots when you can see the raw data. Call `get_messages` to read the exact back-and-forth of a troubled session. This helps you debug agent responses and update their prompts immediately in the same workspace.

Setup guide

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