How to Use the Clip API MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I connect the Clip API to Cursor?

Create an mcp.json file in your project root directory. Add the Vinkius MCP Server URL under the mcpServers array. Toggle Agent mode on in your chat panel to start calling tools.

Q: Can Cursor generate payment links with the Clip API?

Yes. The agent executes createpaymentlink to hit the live endpoint. It uses the real payload to write accurate integration code for your checkout flow.

Q: Why should I use the Clip API MCP Server in Cursor instead of Postman?

Context switching kills momentum. Pulling live getbalancesummary data directly inside your editor lets the agent write the exact parsing logic you need without copying and pasting between windows.

Inject live Clip transaction data and settlement reports straight into your codebase using Cursor.

Perplexity

Code payment integrations with live data

Writing payment gateway logic gets messy when you rely on fake JSON stubs. Cursor changes that by pulling real transaction states. Your AI client runs `get_transaction_status` and writes error-handling logic based on actual API responses, not guesses. Generating payment URLs works the same way. The agent calls `create_payment_link` to see exactly what the Clip endpoint returns. It then writes the exact TypeScript interface you need to handle that specific payload in your application.

Test refunds and billing via Clip API MCP Server

Building a subscription service requires testing complex billing cycles. Instead of manually hitting the API in Postman, you tell Cursor to execute `create_subscription_plan` while you code. The agent sets up the plan and instantly writes the integration code for it. Handling edge cases like returns becomes trivial. You can test a partial return by having the agent run `refund_transaction`. It reads the result and immediately drafts the backend function to process those returns in your own app.

Sync POS catalogs and settlement reports

Building dashboards for physical stores requires knowing what hardware is actually running. Cursor pulls a live list of registered card readers using `list_terminals`. It then builds the React components to display those specific devices. Managing store inventory is just as fast. The agent grabs your current items with `list_products_catalog` and can insert new SKUs using `add_product_to_catalog`. When you need to display financial histories, it pulls real data via `get_settlement_reports` to populate your charts.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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