How to Use the Gotify MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure Gotify inside Cursor?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root or global directory. Add the MCP server under your configuration block with your API endpoint and token arguments.

Q: What happens if my Gotify server goes offline while using Cursor?

The gethealth tool will fail, and the editor will show a connection error. Your agent will notify you that the endpoint is unreachable so you can fix the hosting issue.

Trigger Gotify notifications and manage API clients directly from Cursor while you write and debug code.

Perplexity

Send build alerts with the Gotify MCP Server

The `send_message` tool lets your agent trigger live notifications to your phone or desktop while you run local test suites inside Cursor. You tell the agent to run a test run and ping you via Gotify when the compilation completes. This keeps you focused on your code instead of constantly switching windows to check terminal progress. Your agent handles the payload formatting and priority levels automatically.

Manage developer client keys in Cursor

The `create_client` and `get_clients` tools let you provision API access for new debugging environments directly from the editor. You ask your agent to generate a client token, and it injects the resulting credentials straight into your local environment files. If you need to revoke access, the `delete_client` tool handles it immediately. This workflow eliminates the need to open a browser and click through administrative panels during active development.

Audit application tokens during code refactoring

The `get_applications` and `update_application` tools give your agent deep visibility into your active notification channels via this MCP Server. You can audit which tokens your code uses and update their descriptions or names directly from the Cursor chat panel. When old services are retired, you run `delete_application` to clean up your server configuration. This keeps your notification infrastructure clean and secure as your codebase evolves.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Gotify MCP in Cursor

Create a `.cursor/mcp.json` file in your project root or global directory. Add the MCP server under your configuration block with your API endpoint and token arguments.

Yes, you can instruct the Cursor agent to run your test command and invoke `send_message` if the exit code is non-zero. It routes the error details to your devices in real-time.

No, you should keep your tokens in your local global config or use local environment variables. The `.cursor/mcp.json` file can reference these variables so you never leak keys to git.

The `get_health` tool will fail, and the editor will show a connection error. Your agent will notify you that the endpoint is unreachable so you can fix the hosting issue.

Your message content and server tokens are processed locally within Cursor's isolated runtime. The editor never sends your notification text or API keys to external indexers, keeping your internal system alerts confidential.
