How to Use the Doppler MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure Cursor to use my Doppler secrets?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root and add the Doppler server configuration. Once configured, enable Agent mode in Cursor to let the editor access your secrets.

Q: Can I use this to delete obsolete keys from my configurations?

Yes, you can instruct your agent to run deletesecrets with the specific key names. Note that deleted secrets cannot be recovered, though they may revert to inherited parent values.

Let Cursor pull real Doppler secrets directly into your codebase during active agent sessions.

Run code with real Doppler configs in Cursor

Retrieving secrets is direct when your Cursor agent runs `list_secrets` to fetch active development configurations. You don't need to write placeholder values in your local files anymore. Instead of guessing database strings, your agent calls `get_secret` to grab the exact connection details. This ensures your code runs successfully on the first try without manual copy-pasting.

Manage Doppler configurations during Cursor sessions

Verifying environment setups is simple when Cursor runs `list_configs` to check your active workspaces. The agent checks `get_config` to ensure your locked environments remain untouched. If you need to add a new environment variable across multiple environments, your agent executes `change_secrets` to update staging and development configs simultaneously. You never have to leave your editor to sync your team's variables.

Audit configuration history inside the Cursor terminal

Tracking breaking changes is fast when your agent runs `list_activity_logs` inside the Cursor chat window. You see exactly who modified which secrets and when the change occurred without opening a browser. By querying `list_projects` and `list_workspaces`, the agent maps out your entire configuration architecture. This keeps your local development environments perfectly aligned with the cloud console.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Doppler MCP in Cursor

Create a `.cursor/mcp.json` file in your project root and add the Doppler server configuration. Once configured, enable Agent mode in Cursor to let the editor access your secrets.

While it cannot automatically trigger scheduled rotations, your Cursor MCP client can run `change_secrets` to manually update any variable value on demand.

Access is determined entirely by the token you provide. If you use a read-only token, tools like `change_secrets` and `delete_secrets` will fail, keeping your configurations safe.

Yes, you can instruct your agent to run `delete_secrets` with the specific key names. Note that deleted secrets cannot be recovered, though they may revert to inherited parent values.

All communication with the MCP server occurs through a secure local transport layer. Your raw environment variables are only fetched when requested by your agent and never stored on Cursor's servers.
