How to Use the Fivetran MCP in Cursor

Q: How does the Fivetran integration work inside Cursor?

You configure the server in your /.cursor/mcp.json file by adding your API keys. Once added, Cursor's MCP agent mode can query your connectors and groups to assist with your development tasks.

Q: Can I use Fivetran with Cursor to write database migrations?

Yes, your agent can call listconnectors to inspect current source configurations and write migrations that align with your active replication pipelines. The server provides the live metadata needed to generate accurate SQL.

Q: Does the Fivetran MCP Server support multi-tenant setups?

Yes, the listgroups tool allows your agent to discover all isolated workspaces in your account. You can then direct the agent to query specific connector details for any tenant group.

Generate code using real-time sync states and connector metadata directly within Cursor.

Perplexity

Map connector schemas directly into your code

The `list_connectors` tool pulls active MCP metadata into your editor so you can build data models against accurate source schemas. Your agent calls `get_connector` to inspect sync configurations, allowing it to write dbt models or SQL queries that match your exact production setup. Instead of writing code against outdated documentation, you feed your editor live schema structures. This prevents syntax errors and ensures your queries reference actual columns.

Debug failing pipelines inside the Cursor editor

The `get_connector` tool retrieves detailed error logs and sync states when a pipeline stalls. Your agent reads these API responses to explain why a replication failed, suggesting fixes for database schema drift or network timeouts. You avoid digging through web consoles to find out why your tables are stale. The editor pulls the failure details right next to your open code files.

Manage destination environments with this MCP Server

The `get_destination` tool maps out your target warehouse settings for any environment group you query. Your agent uses `list_groups` to find the right environment, then pulls destination hostnames to configure your local development environment variables. This automation cuts down the time spent hunting for database endpoints during local setup. You get the exact destination parameters injected into your configuration files automatically.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Your credentials reside in your local Cursor configuration file and are only used to make direct, authenticated requests to the API. No third party handles these keys during the process.

This MCP integration only touches administrative metadata, including connector sync statuses, destination endpoints, and group names. Your actual business data payload moving through Fivetran is never read or exposed to the LLM.
