How to Use the Friendbuy MCP in Cursor
Use Cursor to build features that hook into your referral data using the Friendbuy MCP Server.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Friendbuy MCP to Cursor
Create your Vinkius account to connect Friendbuy to Cursor and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Inject live referral data into Cursor
Stop using static mocks. The `list_tracked_purchases` tool lets your agent pull real transaction data into your editor while you write code. This lets you build features against actual API responses. Your code will reflect the exact data structure your production environment returns.
Manage referral codes via Cursor
Generate new share codes on the fly with `create_referral_code`. Your agent can test these codes immediately against `get_referral_code_status` during your dev cycle. It makes testing your referral logic a one-step process. You'll catch edge cases before you even commit your changes.
Real-time debugging in Cursor
Use the agent to inspect your current webhook status with `list_webhooks`. If a conversion isn't logging, you can verify your endpoints instantly. You'll spend less time digging through docs and more time fixing the logic. It keeps your development loop tight and efficient.
