How to Use the Commerce Layer MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure my Commerce Layer tools inside Cursor using MCP?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root and add the server configuration. Cursor detects the new tools instantly, allowing your agent to run queries against your store catalog.

Q: Can Cursor's agent mode write code using my live Commerce Layer SKUs?

Yes, the agent can run listskus to pull actual product codes into your editor. It then writes precise integration tests using real product data instead of dummy variables.

Generate code using live Commerce Layer API responses directly inside your Cursor editor.

Build checkout flows with live Cursor context

The `list_markets` tool lets your Cursor agent inspect active sales regions while you write frontend checkout code. Your agent pulls real Commerce Layer market IDs directly into your Cursor chat to write accurate integration scripts. The agent then uses `list_addresses` to write validation logic for shipping destinations inside your Cursor editor. Because Cursor has access to real Commerce Layer addresses, your generated code matches your actual store database.

Generate promo logic using real store data in Cursor

The `list_promotions` tool feeds active discount rules directly to Cursor's agent mode while you write cart checkout components. You don't have to manually copy Commerce Layer promotional codes into your Cursor test suites. To verify the code works, the agent calls `list_prices` to test how Commerce Layer discounts affect specific SKU pricing in Cursor. This live feedback loop inside Cursor ensures your pricing calculations match what the API expects.

Debug webhook endpoints with this MCP Server

The `list_webhooks` tool inspects your active event subscriptions directly from the Cursor terminal panel to debug your store integration. You can see which Commerce Layer endpoints are listening for order events without leaving Cursor. When building new event consumers, your Cursor agent compares your local routing code against the active webhooks returned by the tool. This keeps your Cursor workspace perfectly aligned with your live Commerce Layer configuration.

Setup guide

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