Build Features with Real Commerce Layer Data in Cursor

The `get_sku` tool lets Cursor fetch actual catalog data while you write your frontend components. You see real prices and descriptions instead of guessing with mock data. Your Cursor agent calls `list_prices` to populate your local UI components during active coding sessions. This workflow eliminates the need to hardcode test arrays.

Debug Fulfillment Code using this MCP Server

This MCP Server lets your editor run `list_shipments` to pull real-time tracking statuses into your terminal. You debug shipping webhooks with actual payload structures. Calling `get_order` directly from the Cursor sidebar shows you the exact JSON structure of active transactions. You write cleaner parsing logic because you see the raw API output.

Inspect Customer Accounts While Coding

The `list_customers` tool lets your agent pull active buyer profiles directly into your workspace. You verify customer IDs without leaving your code editor. When debugging email notifications, use `search_orders_by_email` to verify which transactions belong to specific test accounts. Cursor matches the data instantly.

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".

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.
