How to Use the Front MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I add the Front server to my Cursor project?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root. Define the server under the mcpServers key with your API credentials, then enable Agent mode in your chat sidebar.

Q: Can Cursor search Front threads to find specific bug reports?

Yes, Cursor uses searchconversations to scan your support queue for specific error codes or keywords. It pulls the matching conversation details directly into your active coding context.

Q: How do I check if my API credentials are valid?

Ask your editor's agent to run the verifyapistatus tool. It returns a direct connection status from the API, confirming your environment variables are configured correctly.

Write code that triggers Front actions and debugs customer issues directly inside Cursor.

Debug customer issues in Cursor with Front context

When a customer reports a bug, you need the exact error report they emailed. This MCP Server lets your Cursor agent pull the Front conversation thread into your editor. By running `list_all_conversations` and `list_conversation_messages`, the editor gets the actual logs or steps to reproduce the issue. You don't have to copy-paste stack traces from Front to Cursor. Your agent reads the raw message body, matches it to your local files, and points you to the exact line of code causing the crash.

Automate Front inbox routing from the Cursor editor

Writing custom triaging scripts is faster when your AI editor can test them live. The MCP toolset lets Cursor query `list_shared_inboxes` and `get_inbox_details` to verify your team's routing rules against real-time Front states. The agent edits your backend routing code inside Cursor while validating the changes against live Front data. It ensures your custom assignment logic works perfectly before you commit the code.

Send test replies and update states inside Cursor

Verify your notification templates by sending real emails directly from your workspace. Using this MCP connection, Cursor calls `send_inbox_reply` to dispatch test messages to your staging address book in Front. Once sent, the Cursor editor verifies the thread's lifecycle using `update_conversation_status` to close or reopen the test ticket. This makes end-to-end integration testing of your communications pipeline fast and reliable.

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
