Generate Code in Cursor with Live Cluster Data

This CockroachDB Cloud MCP Server lets your Cursor agent run `list_cockroach_clusters` and `list_supported_cloud_providers` during your coding sessions. Your editor gets immediate access to active cluster IDs, regions, and instance types. Instead of writing code against mock database structures, Cursor writes production-ready setup scripts using your actual live cloud environment. The editor reads the real API response and generates exact configuration files.

Inline Node Troubleshooting in Cursor

The `list_cluster_nodes` and `list_cluster_operations` tools feed real-time node health and active cluster events directly to your Cursor chat window. Debugging connection failures happens right alongside your backend application code. If a database driver throws a connection timeout, your editor queries the active nodes to verify which database region is offline. You fix the connection string using actual live IP data from your active cluster.

Automated Security and Key Verification

This server exposes `list_network_allowlist` and `list_encryption_keys` to inspect firewalls and customer-managed keys inside your Cursor editor. Your agent reads these rules to check if your local development machine can reach the cloud database. If your local tests fail, you ask Cursor to verify if your current IP is in the allowlist. The editor cross-references your external IP with the active rules to pinpoint the block.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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