Write code using live stock data in Cursor

Stop writing mock data or dummy stubs for your financial apps. This MCP Server lets your Cursor agent run `get_stock_quote` to fetch live equity prices and inject real JSON payloads straight into your active files. While you write your portfolio logic, the agent pulls actual balance sheets using `get_stock_financials` so your test cases run against real financial numbers instead of guessed schemas.

Build trading strategies with historical charts

Feed your backtesting algorithms with accurate historical price points. Your Cursor chat agent calls `get_stock_chart` to retrieve historical stock data and formats it directly into your Python or TypeScript arrays. If you are building crypto features, the editor pulls real-time token valuations using `get_crypto_quote` to ensure your local database seeds match current market rates.

Track macro trends directly inside your IDE

Monitor global market movements while you write code. Cursor uses `get_fx_latest` to fetch live exchange rates, making it simple to write multi-currency conversion functions on the fly. The editor can also inspect broader economic health by invoking `get_treasury_yield` to pull current bond rates directly into your workspace.

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 IEX Cloud 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.
