How to Use the Covalent MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I add Covalent to my Cursor project?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root and paste the Covalent server details there. Cursor will instantly load the MCP server tools, making them available to the AI agent in your chat panel.

Q: Can Cursor use Covalent to generate typed database schemas?

Yes, Cursor can run gettokentransfers to inspect the exact structure of transfer events. It then uses that structure to generate matching Prisma schemas or SQL tables automatically.

Generate code using real, live blockchain data in Cursor instead of relying on mock APIs or outdated stubs.

Inject real-time ledger data directly into your Cursor code

The Covalent MCP Server lets Cursor pull live blockchain states directly into your active coding file. Your editor calls `get_token_balances` to fetch actual wallet balances, allowing the AI to write functions against real payload schemas instead of guessed data. This removes the need to write mock classes or guess API formats. Cursor reads the exact schema returned by the tool, generating accurate TypeScript types or Python dictionaries that match the live network.

Debug smart contract logs inside Cursor

This MCP toolset uses `get_transaction_details` to retrieve decoded event parameters and exact gas metrics directly into your editor. Cursor uses this raw log data to help you debug failing contract calls right where you write code. Instead of jumping back and forth to an external block explorer, you can run `get_transactions` to pull recent history. Cursor analyzes the transaction payloads to pinpoint why a specific smart contract execution reverted.

Build portfolio tracking features with live wallet valuations

The server uses `get_historical_portfolio` to fetch daily balances and USD valuations for any wallet. Cursor reads this historical dataset to help you write accurate charting code and portfolio calculations. If your app deals with NFTs, Cursor invokes `get_nft_balances` to retrieve contract names and metadata URLs. You can build dynamic image galleries and asset viewers knowing the AI has access to actual metadata schemas.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "covalent-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }

Common questions about Covalent MCP in Cursor

Create a `.cursor/mcp.json` file in your project root and paste the Covalent server details there. Cursor will instantly load the MCP server tools, making them available to the AI agent in your chat panel.

Yes, Cursor can run `get_token_transfers` to inspect the exact structure of transfer events. It then uses that structure to generate matching Prisma schemas or SQL tables automatically.

No, Cursor needs an active internet connection to communicate with the Covalent API through the secure Vinkius gateway. The tools query live blockchain nodes, which requires real-time web access.

You can instruct your editor to only target specific networks by passing explicit chain IDs to tools like `list_supported_chains` in your prompt.

No, your source code stays local to Cursor. The server only passes public parameters like wallet addresses and chain IDs to the indexer, while Vinkius manages your API credentials in a zero-trust, ephemeral sandbox environment.
