How to Use the Hotjar MCP in Cursor

Q: Can Cursor write code based on Hotjar survey responses?

Yes, your Cursor agent can run listsurveyresponses to read user feedback and immediately generate code to fix the reported bugs. This MCP workflow lets you go from a user complaint to a deployed fix without leaving the editor.

Q: Does the Hotjar MCP integration for Cursor support auto-fixing?

Yes, because the Cursor agent can edit files, it can use getrecording data to identify broken elements and rewrite the corresponding source code automatically. You just review and approve the suggested git diff.

Q: How do I choose which Hotjar site to query in Cursor?

Run listsites inside your Cursor chat to see all tracked domains. You pass the target site ID to tools like getheatmap to ensure Cursor is reading data from the correct environment.

Pull Hotjar user behavior data directly into Cursor to generate code that fixes real UX bugs.

Fix bugs using Hotjar recordings in Cursor

The `list_recordings` tool feeds real Hotjar user session data directly to your Cursor agent so you can write code that addresses actual user friction. By calling `get_recording`, you inspect specific Hotjar issues in the editor to see exactly where your code failed a visitor in Cursor. Your Cursor agent writes code changes based on this Hotjar behavioral data rather than relying on mock data or guesswork. Developers no longer need to leave their Cursor code editor to find out why users are failing to submit your Hotjar-tracked forms.

Pull Hotjar feedback to guide Cursor code generation

The `list_surveys` tool brings direct Hotjar user feedback into your Cursor Composer session to guide your next feature build. To verify if Hotjar users are complaining about a specific UI component, your Cursor agent calls `get_survey_stats` and `list_survey_responses`. This workflow lets your Cursor editor write components that solve documented Hotjar user pain points. Feeding raw Hotjar survey feedback straight into your active Cursor prompt helps you generate precise code fixes.

Match Cursor code with Hotjar MCP Server heatmaps

The `list_heatmaps` tool retrieves visual Hotjar click data directly into your Cursor chat to help you optimize CSS layouts. After getting the Hotjar heatmap data using `get_heatmap`, your Cursor agent can restructure your HTML elements to place buttons where users actually click. This integration lets you write frontend code in Cursor while referencing real Hotjar click density. View exactly which layout changes will improve Hotjar conversions without leaving your active Cursor workspace.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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