How to Use the Common Room MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I add the Common Room MCP Server to Cursor?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root and add the server configuration. Once added, enable Agent mode in your chat sidebar to let Cursor call the community tools.

Q: Can Cursor write code using real data from Common Room?

Yes. Your agent runs listmembers to pull active user records directly into your editing buffer, allowing it to generate code tailored to your actual community schema.

Q: How do I delete member profiles in Common Room using Cursor?

You instruct the Cursor agent to call deletemember with the target user's ID. The editor executes the call to clean up user data, helping you implement GDPR compliance tasks during development.

Q: How do I check if my API connection is working?

The gettokenstatus tool checks your credentials from the editor. Ask your agent to run it, and it will report if your token is valid or expired.

Write code that acts on community data in Cursor, using agent tools to sync GitHub and Discord members while you build.

Code with live member data via Cursor MCP Server

Fetching active users is handled by the `list_members` tool, which delivers live community profiles directly to Cursor's agent. Let's be real: coding with actual community data beats writing fragile mock JSON structures any day of the week. Your agent uses `get_member` to pull a specific user profile into your active file. This lets you generate precise integration logic based on actual community tags and custom fields.

Build activity ingestion loops

The `ingest_activity` tool lets you write code that automatically logs custom forum actions into member timelines using this MCP Server. Your agent tests the ingestion payload structure by calling the API directly from the editor sidebar. You verify your connection parameters during development using `get_token_status`. This keeps your API keys valid while you build out background workers or webhook receivers.

Generate webhook and segment logic

The `list_segments` tool helps you write logic to target specific user groups like active contributors. Your agent reads the segments and generates matching code to route notifications to your engineering channels. Controlling active webhooks directly during your coding session is easy using this MCP Server. Your agent writes the registration code, executes it to create the endpoint using `create_webhook` or `delete_webhook`, and updates your config files.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

  "mcpServers": {
    "common-room-alternative-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
