How to Use the Hunter MCP in Cursor

Q: How does the Hunter integration help me write code in Cursor?

It lets your Cursor agent call domainsearch to pull live JSON payloads. Your agent then writes accurate parsing code based on real data instead of theoretical documentation.

Q: Can I verify email lists programmatically using Hunter in Cursor?

Yes, your agent uses emailverifier to test your validation scripts. Cursor runs the tool against real addresses to ensure your code correctly flags bad domains.

Q: How do I access my Hunter campaigns inside Cursor?

Instruct your agent to run listcampaigns in Cursor's chat. The agent pulls the campaign metadata directly into your editor to help you write custom sync scripts.

Q: Where do I configure this server for my project?

Add the MCP Server details to your project-scope .cursor/mcp.json file. This lets Cursor load the tools automatically whenever you open that specific workspace.

Generate code that uses real, verified email data by connecting Hunter to Cursor.

Build production-ready outreach scripts in Cursor

The `domain_search` tool feeds real-time contact data directly into your active Cursor coding session. Your agent uses this live response to build and test parsing scripts, avoiding the need for fragile mock data or stubs. Run `email_count` to let your Cursor agent write conditional logic based on the size of a target domain's contact list. This ensures your generated code handles rate limits and credit budgets before you deploy.

Write bounce-proof email logic using this MCP Server

The `email_verifier` tool lets your Cursor agent test validation logic against real, active email addresses. You write code that automatically filters out risky contacts, protecting your domain's sender reputation from day one. Combine this with `email_finder` to let your Cursor agent generate and test complete lead generation pipelines. The editor runs these tools in the background to ensure your code handles null responses and format errors gracefully.

Code campaign automation tools inside Cursor

The `list_campaigns` tool retrieves active sequences directly through this MCP Server into your Cursor editor. Your agent analyzes the structure of these campaigns to generate custom reporting dashboards or webhooks. You can also call `list_recipients` and `list_leads` to write scripts that sync your local database with Hunter. Cursor writes the integration code using actual schema structures returned by the live server.

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.
