How to Use the Highnote MCP in Cursor

Q: Can Cursor and Highnote look up specific account holders?

Yes. Cursor can run listaccountholders to find the unique ID for a business or individual. It uses that ID to fetch balances or issue new cards.

Q: How do Highnote and Cursor handle financial account queries?

Cursor calls listfinancialaccounts to grab all accounts and their current balances. If you need deep details, it runs getfinancialaccount to pull metadata for a specific ID.

Q: Is my Highnote API profile data secure in Cursor?

The MCP connection routes your getapiprofile requests through an ephemeral, zero-trust environment. Vinkius drops the instance immediately after the API returns your authentication details, preventing any local credential leakage.

Inject live Highnote ledger and card data straight into your Cursor workspace.

Build Card Features with Live MCP Server Data

Writing integration code is faster when your editor can actually read the target API. Cursor Agent uses the Highnote MCP Server to call `list_card_products` and see exactly which Consumer or Fleet programs you have configured. Instead of guessing the response shape, Cursor pulls real metadata. It calls `get_payment_card_details` to inspect a test card, then writes the exact TypeScript interface you need for your frontend based on the actual JSON payload.

Automate Status Changes

Building a customer support dashboard requires testing state changes. You can tell Cursor to test the freeze logic, and it will execute `update_card_status` to push a card to FROZEN or CLOSED. To verify the change worked, Cursor follows up with `list_payment_cards`. You see the status update happen live in the editor while you write the surrounding application logic.

Fetch Real Transaction Details

Stop hardcoding mock transactions when building ledger views. Cursor grabs actual processing data by calling `list_financial_transactions` and injecting the results into your test files. If you need to debug a specific failed payment, Cursor runs `get_transaction_details` to pull the exact metadata. It also checks the corresponding `list_ledger_entries` output to ensure the math adds up before you commit the code.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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