How to Use the Fly.io Alternative MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure the Fly.io Alternative MCP server in Cursor?

Add the server details to your .cursor/mcp.json file under the mcpServers key. Once saved, enable Agent mode in the chat panel to let the editor invoke the 13 available tools.

Q: Can the Fly.io Alternative integration in Cursor automatically delete resources?

Yes, the agent can run deletemachine if you explicitly instruct it to tear down a specific VM. You can also specify the force parameter to remove machines with attached volumes.

Q: How does the Fly.io Alternative MCP server help debug failing builds in Cursor?

Your editor's agent uses listmachines and getapp to inspect the exact state of your application nodes. It then suggests code edits based on the active Docker image and environment configuration.

Q: Does this integration support scaling active deployments?

You can ask the agent to scale your app, and it will run updatemachine to adjust CPU cores or memory allocation. It modifies the VM parameters directly through the API.

Spin up edge VMs, attach storage volumes, and deploy Docker images directly from your Cursor agent while you write code.

Code with live VM telemetry in Cursor

Executing `list_machines` feeds real-time hardware states directly into your active coding session. This MCP server keeps your local workspace in sync with the cloud. Your editor's agent reads the current CPU and memory configurations to suggest precise resource allocations. You avoid relying on outdated documentation or static stubs when writing deployment scripts. The agent calls `get_machine` to fetch live network configurations, letting you write code that matches your actual edge environment.

Provision databases and volumes during agent tasks

Running `create_volume` inside the Cursor chat window lets you provision persistent storage without swapping to a browser. The editor injects the resulting volume ID straight into your configuration files. When you need to scale database nodes, the agent runs `update_machine` to mount the new disk. This keeps your infrastructure definitions in sync with the hardware running your code.

Automate multi-region deployments directly from the editor

The MCP server uses `create_machine` to deploy fresh Docker images to regions like nrt or lhr instantly. Cursor coordinates the build step and tells the server to initialize the VM with your local configuration. If a deployment fails, the agent runs `restart_machine` to cycle the process or `get_app` to check regional routing. You resolve runtime issues without leaving your workspace.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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