Automate QRadar lookups in Cursor

Write code that reacts to security events by using `get_rules` to pull your active correlation logic. The agent pulls this data directly into your editor. You aren't dealing with stubs or fake data. You’re building against the actual rules running in your environment.

Reference QRadar sets in Cursor

Call `get_reference_sets` to pull live blocklists or asset groups into your development environment. This helps you write detection logic that respects your current security posture. It’s about writing better code faster. You have the context you need right where you write your logic.

Verify QRadar logs inside Cursor

Use `get_log_sources` to check if your new app is sending data correctly. You can confirm your ingestion status without leaving your IDE. Stop guessing if your logging is active. Check the source list and get back to shipping code.

Setup guide

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