How to Use the Hive (Project Management) MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure the Hive (Project Management) MCP Server in Cursor?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root. Add the server command and arguments, then toggle Agent mode on in the chat panel.

Q: Can Cursor close a Hive (Project Management) task automatically?

No. The current server tools support createaction but lack a dedicated update or close endpoint. You can create follow-up tasks, but closing requires the Hive web interface.

Q: How does the AI know which project to put a new task in?

Cursor calls listprojects to find the correct ID before executing createaction. You just tell it the project name in plain English.

Connect Cursor directly to your Hive project boards to pull live task data into your codebase.

Perplexity

Code against real requirements.

The `get_action` tool fetches specific ticket requirements straight into your Cursor editor. You highlight a function, ask Agent mode what the ticket demands, and it reads the exact Hive task. It stops you from writing code based on outdated assumptions. The AI sees the acceptance criteria and writes implementation logic that actually matches the spec.

Generate types from live workspaces.

The `list_projects` and `list_workspaces` tools expose your Hive structure to the AI. If you need to write an API integration that syncs internal tools with specific Hive projects, Cursor pulls the real IDs. The agent uses `list_actions` to grab a sample of real task data. It then generates TypeScript interfaces that perfectly match your actual project payloads.

Scaffold scripts with Cursor and Hive templates.

The `list_templates` tool grabs your standardized task structures. When you write automation scripts in Cursor to bulk-create project items, the AI knows exactly which fields are required. It pairs this with `list_labels` to ensure the code applies the correct tags. You skip the API documentation entirely because the MCP Server feeds the live schema to the editor.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Hive (Project Management) MCP in Cursor

Create a `.cursor/mcp.json` file in your project root. Add the server command and arguments, then toggle Agent mode on in the chat panel.

No. The current server tools support `create_action` but lack a dedicated update or close endpoint. You can create follow-up tasks, but closing requires the Hive web interface.

Context switching breaks momentum. Pulling task constraints via `get_action` directly into the IDE lets the agent write code against the actual requirements.

Cursor calls `list_projects` to find the correct ID before executing `create_action`. You just tell it the project name in plain English.

Vinkius runs these MCP App connections inside a V8 Isolate Sandbox. Your task IDs, label names, and action descriptions never hit disk and vanish the second the connection drops.
