Perplexity

Inject live release data into Cursor

Use `get_release` to bring accurate tracklists and credits into your editor. You can use this data to populate your app structures rather than typing out metadata by hand. `get_master_release` provides the core creative context you need for your codebase. It keeps your app grounded in the official canonical releases.

Query the Discogs database inside Cursor

Trigger `database_search` directly from your chat window to find artist or label IDs. It is the fastest way to get the right parameters for your API calls. Once you have the ID, `get_artist_releases` helps you map out a full discography for your data models. You get real lists of albums and singles without needing mock data.

Automate marketplace lookups with this MCP Server

Use `get_marketplace_listings` to build tools that track pricing trends for specific records. You can write scripts that monitor listing changes in real-time. `get_release_stats` gives you the numbers you need to calculate market value programmatically. It makes building price-tracking features much easier.

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 Discogs 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.

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Discogs transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Discogs tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.
