Inject live EmailOctopus data into Cursor

Stop using mock data for your marketing scripts. Use `list_marketing_lists` to feed real subscriber counts into your code context. Cursor reads the output directly from the API. Your logic stays grounded in current reality, not outdated stubs.

Automate campaign auditing in Cursor

Call `quick_marketing_volume_audit` while you write your deployment scripts. It gives you an instant snapshot of your account health. Your agent can spot issues before they hit production. It uses `list_email_campaigns` to verify that your new code triggers the correct sends.

Validate contact records inside Cursor

Use `search_contacts_by_email` to check if a test user exists in your list. It saves you from manual lookups during your development process. Get the full profile with `get_contact_profile` to see how your code changes affect real subscriber records. You see the impact immediately.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about EmailOctopus MCP in Cursor

Define the server path in your project or global mcp.json file. Once added, enable agent mode to start executing tools against your account.

Absolutely. Cursor detects the tools defined in your config and allows the agent to invoke them when you ask questions about your marketing data.

The data is fetched on demand. Your agent keeps the results in the current context window, but it does not store your subscriber records permanently.

Commit the .cursor/mcp.json file to your repository. Every developer on your team will have access to the same tools once they pull the latest code.

The server retrieves contact IDs and campaign stats through secure API calls. Your raw data is never cached or stored by the agent between sessions.
