How to Use the DeepSource MCP in Cursor
Write better code by feeding DeepSource issues and security alerts directly to your Cursor AI composer using this MCP Server.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect DeepSource MCP to Cursor
Create your Vinkius account to connect DeepSource to Cursor and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Fix code quality issues inside your Cursor editor
Instead of hunting down static analysis warnings in a web browser, Cursor reads them directly. The editor invokes `list_issues` to pinpoint code smells, anti-patterns, and bugs in your active files. Because your editor has direct access to the tool, the AI composer writes targeted refactoring patches based on the exact line numbers returned. It's an easy way to merge real static analysis feedback with your local editor session.
Secure dependencies with the DeepSource MCP Server
When you add new packages, Cursor uses the MCP Server to call `list_sca_targets` to verify which manifest files are being scanned. It flags security risks before you commit package-lock files. If a vulnerability is found, the agent runs `get_vulnerability` to inspect the severity and fixability. You get a clear path to resolve dependency issues directly from your terminal pane.
Monitor analysis runs while you write code
Keep an eye on your continuous integration health without leaving your editor. Cursor can run `list_analysis_runs` to see if recent commits passed or failed your quality checks. If you change your branching strategy, your agent can invoke `update_default_branch` to keep your monitoring aligned. This ensures your code metrics are always calculated against the correct branch.
