How to Use the Circle.so MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I connect Cursor to my Circle.so account?

You add the Vinkius MCP Server to your mcp.json file in your project. Once configured, Cursor's agent can access all the Circle.so tools.

Q: Can I use this Circle.so integration with Cursor to manage community posts?

You can list posts and their comments with listcommunityposts and listpostcomments. This is great for getting data, but the current tools are read-only; they don't create or edit content.

Pull live Circle.so data directly into your code. Stop mocking APIs and build your integration with real member and post data inside Cursor.

Build with Real Community Data

Connect Cursor's agent to your live Circle.so community. Instead of writing code against stale mock data, you can ask the agent to fetch real members, posts, and events. Your code will work the first time because it was built with actual API responses. Need a list of users for a new feature? Use `list_community_members`. Testing a new dashboard? Pull live activity with `list_community_posts` and `list_post_comments`. The agent injects the data right where you need it in your editor.

Map Out Your Community's Structure

When you're building an integration, you need to understand the data model. This server lets you explore it without leaving your editor. Ask the agent to map out how everything fits together. Use `list_community_spaces`, `list_space_groups`, and `list_community_topics` to get a complete picture of a community's layout. Cursor's agent can then use that information to help you scaffold new code that correctly interacts with Circle.so's hierarchy.

An MCP Server for In-Editor Workflows

This isn't just about viewing data; it's about using it to write code. The whole point of using this MCP server in Cursor is to have the AI agent call a tool, get a real response from Circle.so, and then generate the code that parses it. This closes the loop between API docs and implementation. You go from 'I need to get a list of events' to having working code that calls `list_community_events` and handles the result in seconds. It's a much faster way to build.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Circle.so MCP in Cursor

You add the Vinkius MCP Server to your `mcp.json` file in your project. Once configured, Cursor's agent can access all the Circle.so tools.

Yes, that's exactly what this is for. Ask the agent to get data, like with `list_community_members`, and then ask it to write the function that calls that tool and processes the member list.

No. The server runs as a separate process managed by Vinkius, not inside Cursor. Your editor just makes a quick network request when the agent calls a tool.

You can list posts and their comments with `list_community_posts` and `list_post_comments`. This is great for getting data, but the current tools are read-only; they don't create or edit content.

The server is sandboxed by Vinkius and only sees the Circle.so data it's asked to fetch, like post content and member lists. It has no access to your local files or the code in your Cursor editor.
