Sync GatherContent items with Cursor

Feed live content data into your editor using `get_item_content`. You get real-time access to the exact text and metadata stored in your CMS. It stops you from relying on hardcoded strings or stale exports. Your code reflects the current state of your content at all times.

Automate CMS tasks within Cursor

Run `create_content_item` directly from your terminal or chat panel in Cursor. It lets you generate content structures as part of your development lifecycle. You avoid manual entries in your CMS dashboard. Everything stays consistent across your project environment.

Map project templates in Cursor

Use `list_content_templates` to see what structures are available for your current task. The agent pulls the schema directly from the server to guide your development. It ensures your implementation matches the CMS requirements. You'll save time by building against the actual data model.

Setup guide

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

  "mcpServers": {

Common questions about GatherContent MCP in Cursor

Create an mcp.json file in your project root or your global config directory. Define the server path there, and Cursor will load the tools into your agent session.

The server only transmits what you explicitly request via the available tools. All interactions are ephemeral and isolated to your current session.

The MCP server will return a connection error. You can run `verify_api_connection` to check the status and troubleshoot the link.
