Automated gas monitoring for Cursor

Write code that reacts to actual sensor data. By calling `get_carbon_monoxide` or `get_methane` inside Cursor, your agent can write functions that trigger alerts when levels cross thresholds. You aren't just writing logic; you're writing code that handles live atmospheric feedback. It removes the need for mock data during your development cycle.

Geo-tagged emission data in Cursor

Map air quality to your project's specific regions. With `get_geojson_emissions`, you can feed spatial data directly into your analytical scripts. Cursor handles the response as structured data. You can then build visualizations or report generators without manual conversion steps.

On-demand gas metrics in Cursor

Query the environment like you query a database. Use `get_available_products` to list what's reachable, then use `get_nitrogen_dioxide` to verify site conditions. Everything stays within your editor workspace. You save time by keeping your data collection and logic implementation in the same window.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Emissions API MCP in Cursor

You drop the server configuration into your .cursor/mcp.json file. Once saved, Cursor detects the tools and makes them available in Agent mode.

Yes. When you call these tools in Agent mode, you get the latest available readings. It's ideal for building apps that need current environmental context.

The server provides direct access to environmental sensors. If you see an anomaly in the output, you can debug it immediately with your existing code tools.

The server tracks carbon monoxide, methane, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone. Use the product tool to see the full list of what is currently online.

The connection is direct. The Emissions API server only touches the specific environmental data you request, and your local project files remain outside the reach of the API.
