Perplexity

Inject live documentation into Cursor

Use `get_page` to grab the latest API specs or setup guides. The AI agent in Cursor reads this content to write code that actually matches your docs. Stop guessing how a library works. Just ask the agent to fetch the page and it’ll use the real instructions to generate your functions.

Search across your GitBook spaces

Trigger `search_content` when you are stuck on an implementation detail. The AI scans your docs and provides an answer based on your actual documentation. It’s faster than tab-switching. You stay in the editor while the agent handles the lookups.

Map your documentation hierarchy

Call `list_spaces` and `list_pages` to show the agent where your project docs live. This helps the AI understand the context of your codebase versus your guides. When you provide this map, the agent makes better decisions. It knows exactly where to look for relevant information.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about GitBook MCP in Cursor

Enable Agent mode in the chat, then ask the AI to search. It will call `search_content` and show you the relevant snippets in your Cursor sidebar.

Yes, create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root. This ensures every team member using Cursor has the same documentation tools available.

No, the server uses your provided token to fetch data. Your credentials stay local and are never shared with the editor's core services.

The agent will report an error if the limit is reached. You should wait a few minutes before running more queries to ensure the connection resets.

Your content is fetched directly from the API to your local machine. No page content is sent to third-party servers outside of your authorized agent context.
