How to Use the CocktailFyi MCP in Cursor
Inject live drink data into your code with CocktailFyi and Cursor.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect CocktailFyi MCP to Cursor
Create your Vinkius account to connect CocktailFyi to Cursor and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Fetch cocktail data for your app in Cursor
Call `get_cocktail` or `list_cocktails` to pull real-world recipe data into your project files. Cursor lets the AI write code that uses these actual specs instead of dummy objects. Use `get_cocktail_stats` to understand the breadth of the database. You'll build features based on verified metrics rather than guesswork.
Use the CocktailFyi MCP Server for ingredient logic
Implement ingredient-based lookups using `get_ingredient`. This allows your code to validate user inputs against a known list of bar staples. Run `list_ingredients` to populate dropdowns or filters in your UI. The AI integrates these tools directly into your codebase during your build process.
Integrate preparation methods into your project
Call `list_techniques` to provide your users with accurate mixing instructions. Your code will pull descriptions and usage context directly from the server. Search across the documentation using `search_cocktails`. This ensures your app logic remains consistent with the latest bartending standards.
