How to Use the Flexport MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I register the Flexport MCP server in Cursor?

Add the Flexport server configuration to your project's .cursor/mcp.json file to register it. Once saved, Cursor's Agent mode will automatically detect the Flexport logistics tools and let you call them from the editor.

Q: Does the Flexport integration in Cursor support document downloads?

Yes, the Cursor agent can call the Flexport downloaddocument and getdocument tools to fetch files during development. This lets you test how your Cursor application handles incoming Flexport PDFs and commercial invoices.

Generate code using live Flexport freight APIs and automate logistics directly inside Cursor.

Build supply chain tools with Cursor and MCP Server

Writing mock data for Flexport integrations is a waste of time when you are coding in Cursor. This Flexport MCP server lets your Cursor agent query `list_shipments` and `get_shipment` to inject real freight payloads straight into your editor. You see the actual Flexport data structure, nested container arrays, and status codes inside Cursor. This means you write Cursor-assisted parsing logic that matches the Flexport API on day one, without guessing how the payload looks.

Automate purchase order pipelines in Cursor

When you are building ERP endpoints in Cursor, you need to test how Flexport purchase orders flow. Cursor uses Flexport's `create_purchase_order` and `get_purchase_order` to let you execute live test cycles directly from your workspace chat. The Cursor editor executes the tool, returns the live Flexport API response, and lets you write your database mapping code. No more stale Flexport documentation tabs open on your second monitor while using Cursor.

Match Flexport invoices to code logic inside Cursor

Debugging financial reconciliation scripts in Cursor is painful when you do not have raw Flexport payloads. Cursor calls Flexport's `list_invoices` and `list_shipment_invoices` to pull actual freight billing data directly into your terminal. Your Cursor coding agent can analyze these payloads to help you write exact Flexport matching algorithms. It maps line items from the Flexport `get_invoice` endpoint to your local Cursor schema, finding edge cases before they hit production.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Flexport MCP in Cursor

Add the Flexport server configuration to your project's `.cursor/mcp.json` file to register it. Once saved, Cursor's Agent mode will automatically detect the Flexport logistics tools and let you call them from the editor.

Absolutely, when you ask Cursor to write a tracking component, it runs the Flexport `get_shipment` tool. Cursor then writes the exact TypeScript interfaces and rendering logic based on that real Flexport data.

Yes, the Cursor agent can call the Flexport `download_document` and `get_document` tools to fetch files during development. This lets you test how your Cursor application handles incoming Flexport PDFs and commercial invoices.

Yes, you can instruct the Cursor agent to create or check Flexport orders. It will run the Flexport `create_purchase_order` or `list_purchase_orders` tools to verify that your Cursor code is writing data correctly.

Cursor only queries your Flexport shipping data when you explicitly ask the agent to run a tool. All API requests for Flexport container tracking and purchase orders go through a zero-trust, isolated runtime that never caches your Cursor payloads.
