How to Use the DOJ NCVS Crime Data MCP in Cursor

Q: Can Cursor write TypeScript interfaces for DOJ NCVS Crime Data?

Yes, Cursor uses the listcrimeattributes tool to fetch the exact schema from the server. Your agent then generates accurate TypeScript interfaces based on the actual federal data structure.

Q: How does Cursor handle API downtime with the DOJ NCVS Crime Data?

Your Cursor agent can execute the checkapistatus tool to see if the federal endpoint is online. This keeps you from debugging code issues when the government server is simply down.

Q: Can I query household metrics directly in my code editor?

Yes, you can call gethouseholdvictimization inside Cursor. The agent pulls the requested household metrics right into your open file or chat window.

Inject raw DOJ victimization statistics directly into your Cursor editor to build data-backed applications faster.

Inject real crime statistics into Cursor code

The `get_personal_victimization` tool feeds raw personal crime metrics straight to your Cursor agent. Instead of writing mock data arrays, your editor pulls active, real-world numbers to populate your database seeds or test suites. This MCP Server connection means your AI agent writes code using authentic federal statistics. You don't have to leave the editor to search for sample payloads.

Map out database attributes in Cursor

The `list_crime_attributes` tool exposes the exact database schema of the federal victimization survey directly to your Cursor chat. Your agent reads these attributes via the MCP interface to write precise SQL schemas. You save hours of manual mapping. The editor looks up the structure of the NCVS database on the fly, ensuring your data models match the federal source perfectly.

Audit regional safety metrics

The `get_crime_by_region` tool pulls regional safety data directly into your active workspace. Your agent uses these metrics to build localized safety maps or populate geographic data visualizations. This MCP setup keeps your development loop fast and grounded in real metrics. You can also use `check_api_status` to verify connection health before running heavy data migrations.

Setup guide

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