Inject live hiring data into Cursor

Stop hardcoding applicant lists or mock data. Use the Fountain MCP server to feed real-time hiring metrics into your development process. Call `list_hiring_goals` to set context for your logic. The AI sees the actual targets and writes code that aligns with your current hiring needs.

Debug recruitment workflows in Cursor

When your integration hits a snag, use the AI to inspect the data stream. Use `get_opening_details` to verify that your API calls are hitting the right objects. The agent analyzes the raw output from `list_funnels` to find discrepancies. You fix the logic while the agent handles the data inspection.

Sync applicant records to your project

Use your editor to pull applicant details into your local environment for testing. The Fountain MCP server gives you a direct line to your production records. Run `list_applicants` to grab a batch of data for your local build. You get real fields and types, which makes your code more reliable from the start.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Fountain MCP in Cursor

Create an mcp.json file in your project root or global settings. Define the server there and enable agent mode to start querying data.

Absolutely. Once the MCP server is configured, the agent can call tools like `list_job_posts` to gather info for your scripts.

It lets you write code that interacts with your real hiring data instead of placeholders. This ensures your integration logic works before you deploy.

Yes. You can commit your mcp.json to your repo to share the tools with your entire team. Everyone gets the same access to the hiring API.

The server acts as a pass-through for applicant names and IDs. No data is stored locally in your editor; it is fetched on-demand during tool execution.
