Real-time product data in Cursor

Call `extract_product_data` while your cursor is in the editor to get live inventory details. The AI writes code based on actual API outputs. This prevents the common issue of building around outdated or manual test data. Your logic stays grounded in the real world.

Knowledge graph queries in the agent

Use `search_knowledge_graph` to pull external facts into your codebase. It acts as a source of truth for your AI agent when generating features. Stop guessing about company industries or entity relationships. This MCP Server provides the context your agent needs to write accurate, production-ready code.

Automated content extraction for devs

Use `extract_article_data` to feed documentation or news feeds directly into your context window. It turns raw HTML into clean text for the AI. It’s the fastest way to get documentation into your Cursor session. You won't waste time copy-pasting snippets ever again.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

  "mcpServers": {
    "diffbot-alternative-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"

Common questions about Diffbot MCP in Cursor

The agent calls these tools automatically when you ask for web-based data. It treats the server as an extension of its internal knowledge.

Yes, define it in your project-level .cursor/mcp.json file. Everyone on your team gets access to the same extraction capabilities.

It stays idle until the agent invokes a tool. You only pay the latency cost of the API call itself when you actually need the data.

The server handles your credentials locally. We never store the URLs or content you process in our own infrastructure.

It processes web-based content like article text, product catalogs, and forum threads. It acts purely as a bridge for the agent to read the web.
