Perplexity

Direct access in Cursor

Stop jumping between your editor and your browser. Use `create_document` to save your design specs or technical notes straight into your Dropbox account. It keeps your technical context close to your code. If you need to move things around, `move_file` keeps your folder structure clean.

Find info using Cursor

Use `search_files` to pull relevant info from your Paper docs into your coding session. It gives your agent the specific details it needs to write better code. It avoids the guesswork of using outdated stubs. When you need details on a specific file, `get_metadata` provides the exact info required for your task.

Manage shared resources

See what you have access to with `list_shared_links`. It helps you track which documents are shared with your team without leaving Cursor. Keep your workspace organized. Use `list_files` to browse your folders and ensure your agent is referencing the correct documentation.

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".

Add the Dropbox Paper 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.
