How to Use the Cube.dev MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I install the Cube.dev MCP server in Cursor?

Create an mcp.json file in your project root and paste the Vinkius URL. Turn on Agent mode to start querying.

Q: Can Cursor trigger Cube.dev pre-aggregations?

Yes. triggerpreaggregationjob kicks off a build directly from the chat panel. You can test cache warming logic while writing the code for it.

Inject live metrics and semantic schemas directly into your codebase using this Cursor MCP integration.

Code with Live Data in Cursor

`load_query` fetches real aggregated metrics while you write frontend components. Instead of mocking up fake JSON responses for a chart, your agent pulls the actual data structure from the semantic layer. `list_entities` lists all available cubes and views in your project. Cursor reads this list, understands your business logic, and autocompletes the exact dimension names you need for your API calls.

Execute Raw SQL Mid-Flight

`execute_cube_sql` runs raw queries against the SQL API without leaving the editor. When you are writing a custom backend route, you can test the exact syntax against your live semantic layer. `get_sql` returns the underlying database query for debugging. If your new endpoint is slow, you can see exactly how Cube translates your request before you commit the code.

Check Deployments Before Committing

`list_deployments` pulls down every active Cube Cloud instance you have access to. You can verify which staging environment is currently running before you point your local code at it. `check_ready` hits the health endpoint to confirm the deployment is actually accepting traffic. Your MCP agent handles the verification step so you do not waste time testing against a down server.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Cube.dev MCP in Cursor

Create an `mcp.json` file in your project root and paste the Vinkius URL. Turn on Agent mode to start querying.

Yes. `trigger_pre_aggregation_job` kicks off a build directly from the chat panel. You can test cache warming logic while writing the code for it.

You might be using an outdated dimension name. Ask the agent to run `get_meta` to check the current schema definitions.

The MCP protocol connects to any reachable Cube API. You can point it at localhost or a production cloud deployment.

The server processes schema definitions and raw SQL queries using your provided credentials. Vinkius executes these requests inside an ephemeral, zero-trust sandbox that terminates the moment the tool call completes.
