How to Use the FinLegal MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I create activities for a claim using Cursor?

You can ask the editor's agent to run createactivity with the required claim or contact ID. The agent will fetch the correct template using listactivitytemplates and execute the tool. This lets you test activity creation directly from your coding environment.

Build legal tech workflows in Cursor with real-time FinLegal claims and contact data injected directly into your code.

Perplexity

Generate code using live litigation data

The `get_case` and `list_claims` tools inject real litigation structures directly into Cursor so you can build legal application features without relying on fake mock data. Agent mode can run these queries to pull real litigation structures directly into your editor. Your AI client can inspect active schemas and write precise parsing logic based on actual data. This direct connection prevents integration bugs before they happen. You can test your data mapping against real claimant records, ensuring your production code works on the first deploy.

Debug FinLegal MCP Server integrations in real time

The `get_contact_by_email` and `get_contact` tools let you debug FinLegal MCP Server responses in real time inside Cursor by displaying the exact payloads in your active session. The editor's terminal displays the actual payload, making it easy to spot missing attributes. Let's track this: if a contact record is incomplete, you can test fixes immediately. Have your agent run `update_contact` to patch the record and verify the update within the same chat window.

Automate claim creation scripts

The `create_claim` tool lets you write and verify bulk ingestion scripts directly within Cursor by mapping new files to existing contacts. You can direct your agent to write and test ingestion logic by running the tool against your FinLegal environment. The agent verifies that each claim maps correctly without leaving your workspace. To structure the metadata, the agent can query `list_attribute_templates` to match your firm's custom fields. This keeps your automated ingestion scripts perfectly aligned with your database schema.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about FinLegal MCP in Cursor

Create an mcp.json file inside your project's .cursor directory or your global home directory. Add the server configuration under the mcpServers key with the command and arguments provided in your Vinkius dashboard. Once saved, enable Agent mode in your editor chat to start using the tools.

Yes, Cursor can call the tools directly to understand your database structure and write custom automation scripts. By running `list_activity_templates`, the editor can generate precise code to automate your firm's case milestones. This replaces manual API documentation lookups with live context.

Yes, all data handled by the server in Cursor runs through an ephemeral, zero-trust MCP environment. Your active litigation files and claimant details are never stored or exposed to external servers. Connection authentication is managed through a single secure token.

You can ask the editor's agent to run `create_activity` with the required claim or contact ID. The agent will fetch the correct template using `list_activity_templates` and execute the tool. This lets you test activity creation directly from your coding environment.

The server only accesses the litigation funding claims, claimant contacts, and activity logs specified by your active queries. Vinkius runs the server in an isolated V8 sandbox, ensuring that no sensitive legal records are cached or leaked during your coding session.
