How to Use the GetStream MCP in Cursor

Q: Can Cursor write integration tests using GetStream?

Yes. The editor uses tools like addactivitytofeed and getfeed to run live API calls, then generates Jest or Mocha test suites based on the actual JSON responses.

Q: How does the Cursor agent handle media processing with GetStream?

The agent calls processimage or uploadimage directly from the chat panel. It receives the processed CDN URLs and automatically embeds them into your frontend react components as static imports.

Write real feed code inside Cursor

The `get_feed` tool pulls live activity data directly into your Cursor editor so your agent can write code against real GetStream payloads. When you ask Cursor to build a new timeline component, it uses `add_activity_to_feed` to verify the exact schema returned by your active feeds. You can modify activities on the fly using `partial_update_activity` to test how your Cursor code handles real-time updates. This live feedback loop ensures your Cursor TypeScript interfaces match your actual GetStream production payload structures exactly.

Build social graphs using the Cursor MCP Server

The `batch_follow` tool lets you construct complex social graphs and verify GetStream follow relationships directly within Cursor's agent mode. Instead of writing custom seed scripts, you tell Cursor to link test feeds using `follow_feed` or break connections with `unfollow_feed`. The agent queries `list_feed_follows` to confirm the GetStream state, then writes the exact backend logic in Cursor to replicate those relationships. This GetStream MCP Server integration turns your Cursor editor into a live testing ground for complex timeline fan-out architectures.

Manage collections and objects in Cursor

The `batch_post_collections` tool syncs external database tables with your GetStream feeds, allowing Cursor to generate accurate data-mapping layers. Your Cursor agent retrieves specific items using `get_collection_object` to check if your data matches your local database schemas. If a schema changes, you can clean up test data using `delete_collection_object` right from the Cursor terminal panel. The Cursor editor uses this live GetStream access to ensure your backend synchronization logic never falls out of step with your production database.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about GetStream MCP in Cursor

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root. Add the server config with your Vinkius endpoint token, and the editor's agent will instantly get access to all 23 feed tools.

Yes. The editor uses tools like add_activity_to_feed and get_feed to run live API calls, then generates Jest or Mocha test suites based on the actual JSON responses.

The agent calls process_image or upload_image directly from the chat panel. It receives the processed CDN URLs and automatically embeds them into your frontend react components as static imports.

When an API call fails, Cursor reads the precise error payload returned by tools like update_activities. It then suggests the exact code fixes to resolve schema mismatches or missing fields.

This GetStream MCP server handles activity feeds, collection objects, and social graph metadata. Your active API keys and feed payloads are processed in memory within secure, ephemeral V8 isolates, ensuring no sensitive data is stored on disk.
