Perplexity

Write media code with real FM station data

The `get_fm_station_details` tool pulls active FM radio operational parameters directly into your Cursor editor. When you write media processing applications, your agent calls this tool to inject real call sign data instead of static mock files. This integration lets Cursor write, test, and debug code with actual broadcast frequencies and facility data. You build your application faster because your editor has real-time context from the FCC database.

Build TV station features using this MCP Server

The `get_tv_station_details` tool fetches public television licensing records directly from Cursor. When you build database schemas or API endpoints, your editor queries the live FCC registry to verify your data models match actual broadcast structures. You configure the server globally or per-project using a simple JSON file in your workspace. Cursor uses this connection to fetch transmitter details, community of license, and signal specs while you write code.

Validate broadcast call signs during development

This MCP Server allows your agent to verify US broadcast stations directly within your coding workspace. You do not need to write custom scraper scripts or API wrappers just to test your application's data validation logic. Cursor calls the server directly to verify if a call sign is active. This direct connection speeds up your development loop by replacing manual database lookups with automated tool execution.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about FCC Broadcaster MCP in Cursor

Create a `.cursor/mcp.json` file in your project root and add the server configuration. Once saved, enable Agent mode in Cursor chat to let the editor run the broadcast search tools.

Yes, Cursor queries the tools to retrieve actual FM and TV station parameters. It uses this real data to build accurate schemas and functions without relying on placeholder values.

You control access by defining the server in a project-specific configuration file. Cursor will only call the FM and TV lookup tools when you are working inside that specific workspace.

The tools execute public HTTP requests directly to the FCC endpoints. If the public service experiences latency, Cursor will wait for the response or report the timeout error in your chat window.

The MCP Server transmits only the requested station call signs to the public FCC endpoints. Cursor processes these requests locally on your machine, so your proprietary code and lookup history are never exposed to third parties.
