How to Use the Formbricks MCP in Cursor

Q: Can Cursor generate backend routes based on my Formbricks webhooks?

Yes, Cursor reads your active webhook structures using listwebhooks to write matching Express or Next.js API routes. The agent writes the parsing logic based on the real payloads your server sends.

Q: Why is my Cursor agent failing to run createsurvey?

Make sure your API key in mcp.json has write access to your account. If the key is read-only, createsurvey will return a permission error in your terminal chat.

Q: Can I manage my user segments from the editor?

Yes, by using listpeople to view active users and their attributes. Your agent can search this list to help you debug why specific cohorts are not seeing your surveys.

Q: Does using Formbricks with Cursor expose my user profiles?

No, your API keys and user profile data retrieved via listpeople are never sent to external AI training sets. This MCP Server processes these requests through secure local endpoints. Your customer data remains confidential and conforms to your local development policies.

Perplexity

Map live action classes directly to your Cursor workspace

The `list_action_classes` tool feeds your active in-app triggers directly into the Cursor agent. This means the editor knows exactly which user events exist in your production database. You can write your tracking code while the AI references real events instead of guessing variable names. If you need to verify if a user exists before triggering a survey, the agent uses `get_person` to inspect their profile. You get accurate, typed code because this MCP Server pulls live schema data from your actual workspace.

Generate code using real Formbricks survey schemas

The `get_survey` tool allows your Cursor agent to inspect the exact structure of your active surveys. When you write frontend components, the AI uses this real schema to generate precise form validation logic. You avoid runtime errors because the code matches your live database fields. You can also run `list_surveys` to check which forms are currently active. This lets you build dynamic UI routes that show or hide survey containers based on live status.

Debug webhook endpoints with Cursor and this MCP Server

The `list_webhooks` tool lets Cursor check your configured endpoints to ensure feedback events land in the right backend routes. When you are writing API endpoints to receive survey submissions, the agent compares your local routing logic with active webhooks. You can spot mismatched paths before deploying your code. If a test payload fails, the agent calls `get_response` to inspect the exact structure of the failing submission. You fix the bug in your editor immediately, using real payload shapes.

Setup guide

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