Perplexity

Inject live menu data into code

Stop using mock data for your restaurant apps. Cursor can now call `list_menus` and `get_menu` to pull your actual catalog into the editor while you code. The AI writes functions that react to your real menu structure. You see exactly how your code interacts with live data, making your dev cycle faster and more accurate.

Build custom order workflows

Use Cursor to script logic around your current order flow by calling `list_orders`. The agent can analyze trends in your raw data and suggest code to handle high-volume periods. You gain a partner that understands your business state. It writes logic based on the actual JSON output from `get_order`, ensuring your code handles real-world scenarios.

Automate inventory status updates

Write scripts that trigger `update_item_status` based on your own custom logic. You can build internal dashboards that automatically kill items when they sell out. Cursor uses this MCP Server to bridge your code and your kitchen. You get full control over availability status through clean, AI-generated functions that call the API directly.

Setup guide

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