How to Use the Hunter MCP in Cursor

Q: Can I test my outreach code in Cursor using live Hunter data?

Yes. The Cursor agent can call searchdomainemails or findpersonemail to pull real addresses directly into your editor, letting you test your scripts with active data.

Q: How do I check my Hunter API credit limit inside the Cursor editor?

Just ask the agent to run getaccountusage. The MCP server query returns your current plan limits and remaining credits directly in your chat panel.

Generate prospecting code with live data in Cursor

Stop writing code with fake email payloads. When you use Cursor in Agent mode, your editor can call `find_person_email` to fetch real, working emails and inject them directly into your testing scripts. This means you can write and debug your outreach scripts using actual data. Your agent uses the MCP Server to pull live records, so your code works on day one.

Verify contacts while writing your app

Integrate deliverability checks directly into your dev loop. Ask the Cursor agent to run `verify_email_address` to test how your system handles different deliverability states. You can also check your API limits by running `get_account_usage`. This lets you write logic that handles rate limits or low credit warnings before deploying.

Build and clean lead lists from your editor

You don't need to open a browser to manage your test leads. Use `create_new_lead` to insert records into your list, or run `remove_lead` to purge test data while debugging. If you need to inspect what is currently in your pipeline, run `list_saved_leads` or `get_lead_details`. The agent displays the data right in your Cursor sidebar.

Setup guide

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