Can my agent create a new content node in Drupal?

Yes. Use the 'create_cms_node' tool. Provide the node type (e.g., 'article') and a JSON object with the attributes. The agent will orchestrate the HTTP POST request to your Drupal JSON:API to persist the entity.

How do I list all taxonomy terms for a specific vocabulary?

Use the 'list_term_vocabularies' tool. Provide the vocabulary ID (e.g., 'tags'). Your agent will execute bulk iterations to track explicitly registered terms and return them within your chat context.

Can I retrieve the direct URL for a managed image file?

Absolutely. Use the 'get_file_metadata' tool with the file ID. The agent will analyze the explicit UUID bounds and fetch the literal URL parameters, providing the public location of the managed attachment.

About Drupal MCP Server

Connect your Drupal site to any AI agent and take full control of your headless content management and JSON:API workflows through natural conversation.

Cursor's Agent mode turns Drupal into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Drupal and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.

What you can do

Content Node Orchestration — Identify bounded routing spaces inside headless Drupal models and extract explicitly attached REST arrays tracking standard JSON:API boundaries
Entity Management — Provision highly-available JSON payloads to write rows into Drupal entities, or irreversibly vaporize nodes to clear live document entities
Revision Mutation — Substitute draft values safely by triggering HTTP PATCH operations to replace row segments isolating partial updates mapping specific UUIDs
Taxonomy Management — Enumerate explicitly attached structured rules defining how content is categorized natively through terms and vocabularies
File & Media Discovery — Taps raw configurations pulling explicitly managed Drupal files to discover raw CDN URIs mitigating headless media blocking
Identity Oversight — Evaluate physical arrays isolating actual editors and administrators exposing their metadata and access roles securely
Metadata Auditing — Retrieve the exact structural matching verifying file storage and analyzing explicit UUID bounds for managed attachments

The Drupal MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cursor in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Cursor with the Drupal MCP Server

Cursor AI Code Editor provides unique advantages when paired with Drupal through the Model Context Protocol.

Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context

Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards

MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment

VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Drupal + Cursor Use Cases

Practical scenarios where Cursor combined with the Drupal MCP Server delivers measurable value.

Code generation with live data: ask Cursor to generate a security report module using live DNS and subdomain data fetched through MCP

Automated documentation: have Cursor query your API's tool schemas and generate TypeScript interfaces or OpenAPI specs automatically

Infrastructure-as-code: Cursor can fetch domain configurations and generate corresponding Terraform or CloudFormation templates

Test scaffolding: ask Cursor to pull real API responses via MCP and generate unit test fixtures from actual data

Drupal + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Drupal MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
