How to Use the Duffel MCP in Cursor
Build custom travel apps and test booking flows directly inside your Cursor editor.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Duffel MCP to Cursor
Create your Vinkius account to connect Duffel 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.
Build travel features with live flight data in Cursor
The Duffel MCP server feeds live flight search data directly into your Cursor coding environment. When you write booking logic, your agent invokes `create_offer_request` to fetch live airline payloads, letting you write code against actual API responses instead of static mocks. The agent processes these payloads using `list_offers` to populate your local UI components. This eliminates the guesswork of integration, allowing you to test real travel data structures as you write your code.
Programmatic hotel search and quoting
This MCP Server allows your Cursor agent to interact directly with lodging inventory APIs. The agent executes `search_stays` and `fetch_stay_rates` to pull real-time room rates straight into your active file. You can test booking states by having the agent call `quote_stay` to verify room parameters. This workflow lets you debug accommodation features with live rates before deploying to production.
Live order management in your editor agent
This integration lets you test complex post-booking lifecycles directly within Cursor. Your agent uses `create_order` to generate a live booking, then verifies the order state using `get_order` to inspect the raw JSON response. To test edge cases, you can prompt the agent to run `change_order` or `cancel_order` on sandbox bookings. You see exactly how the Duffel API responds to modifications without leaving your code editor.
