How to Use the HQBeds MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure the HQBeds MCP Server within Cursor?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root and add the server details under the mcpServers key. Once saved, enable Agent mode in your editor chat to start using the tools.

Q: Can I build automated email triggers for HQBeds inside Cursor?

Yes, you can write scripts that use listguests to fetch guest contact details and trigger emails. Cursor can generate the code and test it against your live guest list to make sure it works.

Q: How does the integration protect guest contact details in Cursor?

All guest profiles accessed via getguest are transmitted over encrypted TLS connections. The Vinkius sandbox acts as a zero-trust pass-through, ensuring your customer database is never cached or exposed.

Perplexity

Generate reservation code with live HQBeds context

The `create_reservation` tool allows Cursor to write functional booking scripts using real-time data from your property. When you build custom check-in scripts, the editor uses live API responses to write code that actually works. Instead of coding against static mocks, your editor calls `get_reservation` to understand the exact JSON structure of your bookings. This means your custom automation scripts are production-ready the moment you write them.

Check API status with the HQBeds MCP Server

The `check_hqbeds_status` tool lets you verify your connection to the property management API without leaving your coding workspace. When you write custom webhooks for your hostel, you can test the endpoint status instantly. If a script fails, you do not have to guess if the API is down or if your code is broken. A quick call to this tool confirms your credentials are valid so you can focus on debugging your logic.

Retrieve live room inventory to write custom availability widgets

The `list_rooms` tool fetches your entire hostel room layout directly into your Cursor chat. When building a custom booking widget for your hostel website, you can use these live rooms to map your front-end components. Your agent can cross-reference this list with `list_availability` to write dynamic front-end logic that hides occupied dorm beds. It speeds up development because you are coding with your actual property layout.

Setup guide

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