How to Use the DJI Developer MCP in Cursor
Inject live drone telemetry into your code with Cursor. Build flight-aware applications using real data from your hardware.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect DJI Developer MCP to Cursor
Create your Vinkius account to connect DJI Developer to Cursor and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Code against real flight data
Let your agent use `get_device_osd` to pull actual altitude and velocity data into your current file. You stop guessing what the drone is doing and start coding based on real-world inputs. Your agent writes logic based on live responses, not stale documentation. It tests your code against the actual state of your hardware.
Sync missions with your editor
Invoke `list_waylines` to see what flight paths are already defined for your fleet. You can reference these directly in your scripts to ensure your mission parameters match your local setup. Use `create_mission` to trigger new flight tests from your terminal or chat. It keeps your development loop tight and focused on the code.
Debug hardware health in-editor
Call `get_hms_stats` whenever a test flight fails. You get the raw health management alerts right next to your code, making it simple to isolate hardware issues. Use `get_device_status` to verify device connectivity. It saves you from running broken code against a drone that isn't even online.
