Perplexity

Write code with live DevSkiller MCP Server data

The `get_candidate_assessment_report` tool feeds actual test performance data directly into your Cursor code editor. This lets the Cursor agent write custom feedback templates or automated follow-up code based on real score metrics. Instead of coding with dummy JSON, your editor works with the actual live payloads from your assessment catalog. You write precise evaluation scripts because the agent knows the exact structure of your test data.

Find DevSkiller candidates from your editor

The `search_candidates_by_identity` and `get_candidate_profile` tools let you pull applicant details directly into your active coding file. You can search by email or name to populate your local database seeds or test suites with real candidate profiles. This tight integration keeps your focus inside the codebase. Checking if a candidate exists in your system no longer requires breaking your development flow.

Track test invitations inside Cursor

The `list_test_invitations` and `list_recently_sent_invitations` tools give your Cursor agent access to the status of your testing pipeline. Your agent can write status dashboards or trigger scripts based on who completed their test in the last 24 hours. You build your internal HR tools faster when the editor itself can query your assessment pipeline. The agent uses these tools to verify API responses while writing your custom backend logic.

Setup guide

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