How to Use the Dialpad MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure the Dialpad MCP Server inside Cursor?

Add the server configuration to your global /.cursor/mcp.json file or your local project-scope .cursor/mcp.json file. Enable Agent mode in the chat panel to let the editor run the tools.

Q: Can Cursor Agent send automated SMS through Dialpad during code tests?

Yes, the agent runs dispatchofficesms to send real test texts from your business line. This helps you verify outbound SMS logic without leaving your editor.

Q: Can I retrieve team contact details while writing code?

Yes, the agent runs listteamcontacts to pull contact records. You can use this live data to populate configuration files or database seeds instantly.

Q: How does Cursor ensure my Dialpad contact numbers remain secure?

Your contact numbers accessed via listteamcontacts are processed locally on your machine. The connection to the Dialpad API uses secure HTTPS, and Vinkius handles authentication tokens in an ephemeral, zero-trust sandbox to prevent exposure.

Generate code that reacts to live Dialpad telephony data and manages contacts directly inside Cursor using our dedicated MCP Server.

Build apps using live Dialpad data in Cursor Agent

Cursor Agent executes `list_raw_call_logs` to inject real telephony payloads directly into your active editor tab. You write code against live API responses instead of guessing the JSON structure of your call history. This Dialpad MCP Server bridges the gap between writing code in Cursor and testing it. Your agent pulls actual metrics using `list_call_statistics` to write accurate data parsers on the first try.

Automate contact sync scripts inside Cursor

Write and debug directory sync scripts in Cursor while your agent uses `upsert_business_contact` via this MCP Server to confirm the code works against your live account. You don't need to jump to a terminal to run test scripts. The Cursor agent can clean up test data immediately by invoking `wipe_directory_entry`. It reads your local workspace files to match directory records with your actual database.

Manage your agent's presence during live debugging

Use `update_presence_status` to change your active developer status directly from the Cursor chat panel. This prevents incoming work calls from interrupting you while you are deep in a coding session. The Cursor agent checks your profile details using `get_agent_profile` to inspect your routing rules. It uses this context to keep your development workspace quiet during deployments.

Setup guide

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