Perplexity

Pull live employee data into Cursor

Stop stubbing out your data models. Use `list_employees` and `get_employee_profile` to pull actual staff records into your agent's context while you write code. This ensures your logic handles real employee names and roles. Your agent works with live data, so your features match reality from day one.

Automate shift-based logic in Cursor

Build features that react to schedule changes. Your agent can call `list_scheduled_shifts` to check when employees are on the clock. This is useful for building internal tools that need to know who is available. It saves you from manual API wiring and hardcoded mocks.

Track labor metrics via Homebase MCP Server

Need to analyze budget performance? Use `list_labor_budgets` to retrieve configuration data and feed it straight into your analytical scripts. It makes testing your budget-tracking code much faster. You get the real API response every time you run your agent.

Setup guide

Set up Homebase 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 Homebase 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.

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Homebase transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Homebase tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.
