Perplexity

Inject live event data into Cursor

Write code that reacts to actual session schedules. Use `list_schedules` and `list_sessions` to feed real-time event structures directly into your editor context. The AI writes better code when it sees the real data. You'll stop guessing at schemas and start building against the actual API response structure.

Verify speaker records in Cursor

Use `list_speakers` to find the right ID, then `get_speaker` to pull the full bio into your current file. It’s faster than switching to a browser. This keeps your focus on the codebase. You get the exact strings and metadata you need to populate your front-end components.

Manage Guidebook API calls

Always check your budget before running bulk sync scripts. `get_rate_limit` provides the data you need to avoid 429 errors during your build process. It’s a simple check that saves hours of debugging. Run it in Agent mode to ensure your logic respects the server constraints.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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