Real-time shipping data inside Cursor

Build logistics logic that calls `track_shipment` to update your UI with live status events. You get actual data payloads instead of mock stubs. Run `get_rates` mid-coding to verify pricing models against live API responses. This ensures your shipping calculations match actual market costs.

Programmatic shipment creation for Cursor users

Generate shipping labels directly from your application logic using `create_shipment`. The tool returns the tracking number and label URL for your backend to handle. Verify user input with `validate_address` before sending data to the carrier. This reduces return-to-sender overhead and improves your delivery success rate.

Accessing the DHL MCP Server in your editor

Query local drop-off points with `find_locations` to build a store locator feature in your app. It provides exact coordinates and opening hours for every center. Pull customs paperwork for your test orders using `get_proforma_invoice`. This allows you to build and debug entire shipping workflows without leaving the Cursor environment.

Setup guide

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 DHL 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.
