How to Use the Files.com MCP in Cursor

Q: Can Cursor write scripts that modify Files.com permissions?

Yes, Cursor uses the listpermissions tool to inspect access levels and can write code to manage them. The editor uses live API responses to verify that your permission scripts are syntactically correct.

Let Cursor write code against live Files.com directory structures and user groups without leaving your editor.

Generate code using live Files.com metadata in Cursor

The `get_file_details` tool feeds real-time Files.com metadata directly into Cursor's active code context. Your agent uses this actual payload structure to write precise integration code instead of relying on outdated API documentation. This lets Cursor generate integration code using actual Files.com file sizes and paths instead of mock data.

Write automation scripts using this MCP Server

The `list_users` tool lets Cursor inspect your active Files.com user directory to generate automated provisioning scripts. Your editor's agent reads the live user list to write custom migration or sync tools. By combining this with `list_user_groups`, Cursor maps your Files.com organization structure directly into your local codebase.

Safely clean up files from your Cursor terminal

The `delete_file` tool allows your Cursor agent to use this MCP Server to remove obsolete assets from Files.com during automated cleanup tasks. You can instruct the editor to find and purge temporary files based on criteria you define in the chat. Before purging, Cursor runs `get_file_details` to verify the Files.com modification date matches your script criteria.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Files.com MCP in Cursor

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root and add the Files.com MCP server configuration. Once saved, Cursor's agent mode can immediately access tools like `list_folders` and `get_file_details`.

Yes, Cursor uses the `list_permissions` tool to inspect access levels and can write code to manage them. The editor uses live API responses to verify that your permission scripts are syntactically correct.

No, Cursor communicates with the live Files.com API through the MCP Server. When you ask it to inspect a directory, it runs `list_folders` to get real, production data.

You can configure your Files.com API key permissions to block write access. This prevents Cursor from executing the `delete_file` or `create_folder` tools, even if the agent attempts to call them.

Cursor handles your user directories and folder lists within its local editor environment. Your Files.com user details and access logs are only processed during your active session and are not stored on Cursor's indexers.
