How to Use the Franchimp MCP in Cursor

Q: How does the Franchimp integration in Cursor help me write a data-driven app?

Cursor's agent can call Franchimp tools like getinvestmentstats and inject the live data directly into the code it generates. This means you get working functions and components without having to write boilerplate or use mock data.

Q: Is it hard to set up the Franchimp MCP server with Cursor?

No, it's simple. You just create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project's root directory and add the Franchimp server configuration. Cursor will automatically pick up the tools.

Generate Code with Live Data

This is where it gets good. Tell Cursor to build a component that displays franchise information. It will call `get_franchise_details` and `get_investment_stats` on its own, then use the live API response to generate code that actually works. Forget writing boilerplate or parsing sample JSON. Cursor writes code that's already wired up to the real data structures. You get a working component, complete with types, based on what the Franchimp API returns right now. This saves a ton of time.

Write Lead-Gen Scripts in Seconds

You need a script to find promising leads. Prompt Cursor: “Write a Node.js script that uses `list_multi_unit_operators` to find operators in Florida, then gets contact info for each with `get_franchisee_details`.” Cursor writes the file for you. It’s not just a template. It's a functioning script that uses the Franchimp tools. You can then ask Cursor to refine it, maybe by adding a filter or exporting the results to a CSV. It turns a tedious data-gathering task into a quick conversation.

Stop Writing Mock Data for Tests

Unit tests are more reliable when they use realistic data. Instead of creating fake objects, tell Cursor to use Franchimp to get real data for your tests. For instance, “In this test, use `search_franchisors` to find a real franchise and test my `processFranchiseData` function with its details.” This means your tests are running against the actual data structures from the live API. If the Franchimp API schema changes, your tests will fail, catching the breaking change before it ever gets to production. It makes your test suite much more effective.

Setup guide

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