Automate Gitpod workspaces in Cursor

Call `create_and_start_workspace` from your chat panel to initialize a new environment. Your AI agent handles the provisioning so you can keep your focus on the logic. Switching between tasks becomes trivial when you use `start_workspace`. You resume your work in a clean state every time you start a new session.

Configure environments inside Cursor

Manage your project settings with `create_configuration` directly in the editor. You define your build requirements and let the agent handle the Gitpod API calls. Deleting old setups is just as easy with `delete_configuration`. You clear out clutter and keep your workspace list tidy without switching tabs.

Manage Gitpod organizations from Cursor

Use `list_organizations` to see every team you belong to. You can jump between different Gitpod environments instantly by selecting the correct organization ID. Updating settings via `update_organization_settings` keeps your team in sync. You push changes to your organization structure without ever leaving the Cursor IDE.

Setup guide

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