Perplexity

Cursor builds real code using live call statistics

Cursor uses `get_call_stats` and `list_calls` to pull real phone metrics directly into your active workspace while you write code. The agent uses these live payloads to write accurate TypeScript interfaces. You get code tailored to the exact structure of your call history without manual API inspections.

Test contact management logic directly in your editor

This MCP server lets Cursor run `create_contact` and `delete_contact` in real-time to verify your database schema works as expected. You can also call `list_contacts` to pull actual customer records into your Cursor chat. This lets you debug filtering algorithms against real data instead of dummy files.

Configure webhook listeners via Cursor Agent

This MCP server lets Cursor execute `create_webhook` to register new endpoints while you write the handler code. If you need to debug an active route, ask the agent to run `list_webhooks`. It displays your registered targets side-by-side with your local route files.
