Perplexity

Inject live field data into your code

Stop using hardcoded stubs when developing your internal dashboard. With `list_jobs` and `get_job`, your agent writes code that interacts with your actual service data. The AI sees the shape of your data because it queries the API directly. It generates functions that work on the first try because it understands your production schema.

Build automated billing tools

Your agent can write scripts to fetch `list_invoices` and process them for your accounting needs. It handles the logic based on the real API structure. Testing your code becomes faster when you have live data. You can verify your logic against actual invoice records while you type.

Manage company assets via code

Need to build a custom schedule viewer? Use `list_technicians` and `list_price_list_items` to pull the data you need into your frontend. You control the logic while the agent handles the API calls. This creates a feedback loop where you see your interface populate with real company data immediately.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Housecall Pro MCP in Cursor

Create an mcp.json file in your project root or global settings. Define the server path and arguments, and Cursor will make the tools available in agent mode.

Yes, the agent can write and execute code that calls these tools. It uses the API responses to ensure the generated code is accurate to your business setup.

It provides the real data you need to reproduce issues. By querying `get_job` or `list_estimates`, you can see exactly what the API returns and fix your code accordingly.

The server uses token-based authentication to talk to the API. Your credentials are kept locally, and the data is restricted to your current coding session.

The agent can read all returned JSON objects, including customer contact info and service history. This allows it to generate specific, helpful code for your unique operations.
