Direct vision integration for Cursor

Stop context-switching between your editor and external vision tools. Use `image_classification` to categorize assets or UI components directly from your Cursor chat. The AI agent gets live data, allowing it to write code that actually accounts for the visual structure of your project. It saves time on manual asset auditing.

Generate assets while coding in Cursor

Need a placeholder or a diagram? Use `text_to_image` to create visual assets without leaving your editor. The output is base64 encoded and ready for immediate use. It keeps your creative flow uninterrupted. You describe what you need, and the agent delivers the image data directly into your project context.

Automated object detection in Cursor

Use `object_detection` to identify elements within your project images. The agent returns bounding boxes, helping you map out coordinates for front-end development. This is useful for building responsive layouts or game assets. You get raw data that you can use to refine your code logic in real time.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

  "mcpServers": {
    "hugging-face-vision-mcp": {

Common questions about Hugging Face Vision MCP in Cursor

Create an mcp.json file in your project root or global config folder. Add the server configuration there, and ensure Agent mode is toggled on in your chat window.

Yes. The agent accesses your local files through the MCP server connection. It processes the image and returns the analysis directly into your current chat context.

The server only interacts with the specific images you provide. It does not scan your entire repository, ensuring your code remains private.

It sends the image payload you provide to the API endpoint. No other project data is transmitted, and the connection is restricted to these specific tool calls.

Latency usually comes from the image size or API response times. Try using smaller images to speed up the round trip between your editor and the server.
