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".

Add the ExchangeRate- 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.

Common questions about ExchangeRate- MCP in Cursor

Create an mcp.json file in your project root or your global directory. Add the server configuration under the mcpServers key, then enable Agent mode in your chat.

You can share your mcp.json file through your repository. This allows every team member using Cursor to access the same tools and API configurations.

It can, but you should monitor your usage with `get_quota` regularly. If you need to scale, make sure your subscription plan covers your projected volume.

The agent can read the output from the tools and write it directly into your code. It turns API responses into working code snippets instantly.

The server only touches exchange rate data, not your private source code or personal files. Your configuration remains local to your environment.
