How to Use the Elevio MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I add the Elevio MCP Server to Cursor?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root or add it to your global settings. Define the server under the mcpServers key with your API credentials, and Cursor will instantly make the tools available in Agent mode.

Q: Can Cursor help me find empty categories in my Elevio setup?

Yes, Cursor can run listemptyknowledgecategories to find empty sections. This allows you to write cleanup scripts or automate category management directly from your coding workspace.

Q: How does Cursor search my Elevio articles?

Your agent calls searchknowledgearticles with your specified keywords. It retrieves matching articles, allowing you to inspect their structure and use the actual API responses to build your custom UI components.

Q: Can I track recent document changes in my editor?

Yes. Your agent can run listlatestarticleupdates to see what has changed recently. This is useful for keeping your local development files in sync with live production updates.

Let Cursor write real code against live Elevio documentation, draft articles, and category structures in real-time.

Build documentation features with Cursor

This MCP Server connects Cursor directly to your live help center so your development agent can run `get_elevio_account_metadata` to check actual limits. Stop coding against stale mock schemas or guessing API payloads. When you write custom integrations, the agent calls `list_knowledge_categories` and pulls real production data directly into your editor. You write working code the first time because your editor sees the exact structure of your live documentation.

Run automated content health checks in Cursor

This MCP Server lets you run `quick_content_health_audit` directly in your editor to analyze your current article counts and check for structural issues. You can write scripts and test them against live endpoints while you work on your frontend templates. By calling `list_empty_knowledge_categories` and `list_draft_knowledge_articles`, the editor identifies broken paths or unreleased documentation. This makes it easy to build internal dashboards that stay in sync with your actual help center state.

Search and inspect articles while coding

This MCP Server lets your agent execute `search_knowledge_articles` inside Cursor to test queries and inspect the returned payloads. If you are building a custom search bar or help widget, you need to know how the search API behaves. You can also pull complete raw text using `get_article_details` to verify formatting, HTML tags, or metadata. It saves you from constant browser switching and manual API testing in Postman.

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 Elevio 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.
