Build PAM Workflows with this MCP Server

Writing automation scripts for credential management usually involves guessing API shapes and reading outdated docs. Agent mode fixes this by calling `get_safe` and `get_account` while you code. Cursor sees the actual properties returned by the vault. It writes the exact JSON parsing logic you need for your specific setup, completely eliminating the trial-and-error phase of API integration.

Audit Users and Groups Live

Hardcoding permission checks is a recipe for broken builds. This MCP Server lets you ask your editor to run `list_users` to see exactly which active vault administrators and PSM consumers exist right now. Combining that with `list_groups` lets the agent write accurate RBAC mapping functions based on real data. You get working code that checks actual group structures instead of relying on mock data that never matches production.

Handle Emergency Checkouts

Developers building incident response playbooks need to test their logic against real termination endpoints. Routing through the MCP Server lets you verify your script handles the API response correctly when dropping an active connection via `terminate_session`. Testing credential checkouts works the same way. The agent fires `retrieve_password`, passes the mandatory justification reason, and helps you write the exact error handling needed for exclusive-access lockouts.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about CyberArk Privilege Cloud MCP in Cursor

Create an mcp.json file in your project root or global .cursor directory. Paste the Vinkius remote URL and your auth token under the MCP Server configuration block. Turn on Agent mode in the chat panel to start calling tools.

It pulls them instantly. The agent fetches your logical containers to help you target specific physical credential storage locations while writing automation scripts.

Writing integration code is faster when your editor can actually talk to the API. Instead of reading docs, the AI fetches real vault properties and writes the exact parsing logic required for your specific setup.

Yes. Fetching account details returns the current rotational status and safe allocation. Your editor uses this data to write conditional logic that handles locked or exclusively checked-out credentials.

Active session IDs and vault group architectures only exist in memory during the ephemeral V8 Isolate execution. Vinkius operates a strict zero-trust model, meaning your logical access data vanishes the millisecond the API call completes.
