How to Use the Copernicus Data Space MCP in Cursor

Q: Can Cursor write Python scripts using live Copernicus Data Space metadata?

Yes, Cursor uses the getproduct tool to fetch real metadata schemas directly into your active editor. This lets the agent write accurate pandas or geopandas code without relying on outdated documentation.

Q: How does the Copernicus Data Space MCP server handle spatial queries in Cursor?

The agent uses searchbybbox or searchproducts with your WKT coordinates. Cursor reads the returned footprint geometries and writes code to plot them on your maps.

Q: Can I limit the number of Sentinel products returned in my editor?

Yes, the searchproducts tool defaults to 20 results. You can ask Cursor to filter these down using countproducts before generating code for large-scale downloads.

Write geospatial code in Cursor using live Copernicus Data Space satellite metadata without using mock data.

Generate code using live Copernicus Data Space data

The `search_products` tool feeds actual Copernicus Data Space metadata directly to Cursor's agent. Instead of writing code with placeholder JSON, you write scripts using real Sentinel-2 footprints and sensing dates. Your editor reads the live API payload and auto-completes your parsing logic. You get working geospatial code on the first run because your agent tests the structure with real data.

Target specific satellite orbits in Cursor

The `search_by_orbit_number` tool lets Cursor find exact repeat-pass geometries for your SAR or optical pipelines. This gives your agent the exact UUIDs needed to build change-detection code. By using `get_product` alongside your active file, Cursor writes precise download scripts tailored to the exact file sizes and checksums returned by the API.

Build automated download pipelines with this MCP Server

The `get_product_download_url` tool generates temporary download links and Bearer tokens directly inside Cursor. Your agent writes, runs, and debugs download scripts using active, authenticated links. This eliminates the need to manually log into web portals to grab curl commands. Cursor handles the authentication handshake via `check_copernicus_status` and builds your ingestion pipeline in real time.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "copernicus-data-space-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
