How to Use the Front MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure Front for Cursor?

Create an mcp.json file in your project root or global .cursor directory. Add the MCP server details under mcpServers and enable Agent mode in your chat panel.

Q: Can Cursor read attachments from Front tickets?

The getmessagecontent tool retrieves the text and HTML bodies of the messages. Binary attachments require a separate fetch operation outside of these specific tools.

Q: Will this work for my entire engineering team?

If you commit the .cursor/mcp.json file to your repository, anyone who clones the repo will have access to the same tools, provided they have the correct API tokens.

Bring live customer feedback from Front directly into Cursor using this MCP server while you write code.

Perplexity

Pull bug reports into your editor

The Front MCP server gives your Cursor agent direct access to customer support threads. When you need context on a user-reported bug, the agent runs `search_conversations_by_query` to find the relevant tickets. Cursor reads the exact text of the user's complaint using `get_message_content`. You stop guessing what the customer meant and start fixing the code based on their actual error logs.

Close the loop from Cursor

Your agent updates the customer the moment a fix ships using the `reply_to_conversation` tool. You tell Cursor you fixed the issue, and it drafts and sends the technical explanation to the user. Before sending, it pulls the user's profile with `get_contact_info` to ensure it addresses the right person. You stay in your editor, and the customer gets a direct update from the developer.

Triage support tickets via the MCP Server

You manage the lifecycle of technical support threads using the `update_conversation_status` tool. When Cursor finishes a pull request related to a specific issue, it can automatically archive the associated conversation. To see the current backlog, the agent uses `list_conversations` and filters by your engineering shared inbox. You get a real-time list of open issues without opening a browser.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Front MCP in Cursor

Create an `mcp.json` file in your project root or global `.cursor` directory. Add the MCP server details under `mcpServers` and enable Agent mode in your chat panel.

The `get_message_content` tool retrieves the text and HTML bodies of the messages. Binary attachments require a separate fetch operation outside of these specific tools.

Ask the Agent to find mentions of a specific error code or feature. It will execute `search_conversations_by_query` and return the matching threads directly in your chat sidebar.

If you commit the `.cursor/mcp.json` file to your repository, anyone who clones the repo will have access to the same tools, provided they have the correct API tokens.

The integration reads sensitive customer emails, SMS logs, and internal team notes. Cursor executes the server locally as a subprocess, meaning your environment variables and API keys never leave your workstation.
