Perplexity

Inject live shipping data into code

Stop using static mock data for your fulfillment logic. The agent calls `get_shipping_quote` to fetch actual rates and injects them directly into your codebase. This lets you write features that react to real-world costs. You get accurate pricing logic without leaving the editor.

Programmatic order management

Script your entire fulfillment cycle using `create_print_order` and `list_print_orders`. Your agent can generate the function calls while you review the logic in your active file. It handles the API boilerplate so you can focus on the business rules. You'll see the code structure update as you refine the order parameters.

Catalog-aware development

Use `list_catalog_products` to pull current product specifications directly into your context. The agent understands your catalog structure because it reads the real API response. This prevents errors caused by outdated product IDs or missing variant options. Everything is based on the current state of your store.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Gelato MCP in Cursor

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

Yes. Enable agent mode in your chat, and the AI will automatically select the right tool to fetch product details or calculate shipping for your current task.

Your key is handled by the MCP transport layer. It stays local to your environment and is never shared with the AI provider when you use local mode.

Use `list_print_orders` to pull the recent history into your workspace. You can then ask the agent to summarize performance or find specific order IDs.

The server only processes the address data you explicitly pass to the tool. It doesn't store your customer records; it just facilitates the request to the print provider.
