Perplexity

Write code using live Ideanote API responses

The `list_workspaces` tool feeds live workspace structures directly to Cursor's agent. Instead of guessing API payloads or relying on outdated documentation, your editor writes code against your actual live environments. You can generate typed interfaces and mock-free tests by letting the editor inspect real outputs from `list_teams` and `list_users`. This guarantees your custom internal tools match your live team directories exactly.

Build event-driven integrations in Cursor with this MCP Server

The `list_webhooks` tool lets you inspect active event listeners directly from your local MCP Server setup. You don't need to open a browser to check if your local development server is registered to receive new idea events. When writing endpoint handlers, your agent pulls sample payloads by querying `get_idea`. This lets you build and test webhook receivers with real-world formatting, cutting down on trial-and-error debugging.

Map campaign pipelines to database schemas

The `list_missions` tool retrieves your current campaigns so you can map them to internal database records. Bottom line: your agent analyzes the structure of each mission to ensure your custom apps sync correctly. By calling `list_phases` alongside `get_mission`, the agent understands the exact lifecycle of your ideas. This lets you write precise migration scripts that move ideas across phases without breaking data integrity.

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 Ideanote 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.
