How to Use the Health Gorilla MCP in Cursor

Q: Can my Cursor agent test Health Gorilla order submissions?

Yes, the agent can use submitlaborder to place live test orders in the sandbox environment. This allows you to verify that your FHIR payloads are structured correctly before moving your code to production.

Q: How does Cursor retrieve Health Gorilla lab results?

Your agent runs getlabresults or listpatientresults to fetch structured diagnostic data. This makes it easy to write parser functions because you can test them against actual clinical payloads directly in your editor.

Q: Can I track order status updates during development?

Yes. Use getorderstatus to poll the state of submitted orders. Your agent can write asynchronous handlers that react to status changes like 'collected' or 'completed' using real API states.

Let your Cursor agent query the Health Gorilla network and generate real clinical code using live diagnostic data.

Generate clinical code with the Cursor MCP Server

`search_lab_tests` allows your Cursor agent to query the active clinical directory for LOINC codes, turnaround times, and lab categories. Instead of writing code against static mocks, your agent uses real API responses to build and test your integration logic on the fly. You can write code that dynamically handles different test types because your AI editor has direct access to the live catalog. This speeds up development by replacing hardcoded stubs with actual clinical data formats.

Verify provider directories during active development

`search_providers` queries the network database using the MCP server to locate clinicians by specialty, location, or NPI number. Your Cursor agent can execute this tool during a coding session to verify that your directory search features return valid, correctly formatted JSON payloads. Use `get_provider_details` to pull specific credentials and contact info for deep validation. This lets you debug routing issues and credential checks without leaving your active code editor.

Automate patient record matching in your codebase

`match_patient` searches the patient index to prevent duplicate records and verify identity before order submission. Your Cursor agent can run this tool directly to test your intake pipelines with real demographic matches. You can also call `get_patient_demographics` to fetch verified names, dates of birth, and MRNs. Having access to these tools inside your editor means you can write and verify your patient data mapping in one continuous step.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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