Inject Real Hostfully Data in Cursor

The `list_properties` tool lets Cursor read your actual live inventory while you write code. Instead of guessing the JSON structure for a property card component, Cursor hits the API and sees the exact fields. If you are debugging a specific listing, `get_property` pulls that exact record into your editor. This changes how you build frontend components. Your agent writes code against real API responses. You run `list_agencies` to get the agency ID, pass it to the property list, and Cursor scaffolds the exact types and interfaces you need.

Map Leads and Guests

The `list_leads` tool feeds your booking pipeline directly into your Cursor chat. You ask the agent to build a lead dashboard, and it uses real inquiries to test the logic. It calls `get_lead` to inspect the nested reservation objects. You don't need mock data. The `list_guests` tool provides the actual guest schema. Cursor reads this and writes the exact validation logic required for your forms.

Debug Webhooks with an MCP Server

The `list_webhooks` tool shows Cursor exactly where your Hostfully events are pointing. If your local dev server isn't catching booking updates, your agent checks the active webhooks and rewrites your listener code to match. It also pulls your operational contacts. Cursor uses `list_owners` and `list_service_providers` to generate accurate reporting scripts. You build the script, and the AI tests it against the real contacts in your account.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Hostfully MCP in Cursor

Create an `mcp.json` file in your project root. Add the server command and your Hostfully API key. Enable Agent mode in the Cursor chat to start hitting the API.

Yes. Cursor calls the API, reads the response, and generates interfaces based on the exact JSON structure. It removes the guesswork from API integration.

Check your API key permissions and ensure you are passing the required agency ID. Tools like `list_properties` will fail without a valid agency UID.

You need to manage rate limits in your own code. The tools simply pass requests to the Hostfully API. If you spam the endpoints, Hostfully will throttle you.

Your Hostfully API key stays local to your machine. Cursor passes it to the MCP server, which runs in a zero-trust environment. The server reads lead and agency data, returns the result, and immediately destroys the execution context.
