How to Use the HetrixTools MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure the HetrixTools MCP Server inside Cursor?

Add the server settings to your global or project-specific mcp.json file. Once configured, Cursor will recognize the 11 tools, allowing your agent to query live monitoring data while you write code.

Q: How does Cursor use HetrixTools to diagnose mail delivery failures?

The agent runs checkdomainblacklist or checkipblacklist to query real-time blocklists. It then analyzes the results inline to help you identify which specific spam databases are blocking your outgoing traffic.

Manage HetrixTools via Cursor MCP Server

The `list_uptime_monitors` tool gives your Cursor agent live access to latency and status metrics for your production nodes. This lets you debug network issues and write code with real-time server health data right next to your files. If a server is down, tell your editor to handle it. Cursor can use `set_maintenance_mode` to silence active HetrixTools alerts while you write and deploy hotfixes, ensuring your inbox doesn't get flooded with false alarms.

Automate blacklist checks during development

Using `check_ip_blacklist` and `check_domain_blacklist` inside Cursor lets you verify server reputation while writing email dispatch code. Your agent can scan major lists to see where your test traffic is getting choked before you push to production. Cursor reads the real-time response from `list_blacklist_monitors` and helps you write fallback routing logic. This prevents your application from sending outbound mail through blacklisted HetrixTools-monitored relays.

Analyze API usage and monitor reports inline

The `get_account_usage` tool pulls live API limits directly into your Cursor workspace so you don't overspend. This ensures your automated test suites don't exhaust your HetrixTools credits during aggressive code compilation. You can also pull down full performance histories while editing. The editor uses `list_bulk_reports` and `list_uptime_reports` to inject raw HetrixTools performance logs directly into your markdown files or documentation drafts.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about HetrixTools MCP in Cursor

Add the server settings to your global or project-specific `mcp.json` file. Once configured, Cursor will recognize the 11 tools, allowing your agent to query live monitoring data while you write code.

Yes. Tell your Cursor agent to set up a new endpoint check, and it will use `add_uptime_monitor` with your specified targets and contact lists to register it immediately.

The agent runs `check_domain_blacklist` or `check_ip_blacklist` to query real-time blocklists. It then analyzes the results inline to help you identify which specific spam databases are blocking your outgoing traffic.

You can. Ask the agent to list your notification targets, and it will run `list_contact_lists` to show you exactly who gets alerted when a server fails.

Your configuration keys, IP addresses, and domain names are stored locally in your environment variables. The MCP Server communicates directly with the endpoint, so your sensitive network topology data is never routed through external middleware.
