How to Use the iFax MCP in Cursor

Q: Can I test iFax transmission code directly in Cursor?

Yes, you can use Cursor in Agent mode to run the sendfax tool. The editor executes the tool locally so you can verify the base64 payload transfer immediately.

Q: How do I list my sent documents using iFax in Cursor?

Ask the Cursor agent to fetch your log. It will run listfaxes to populate your editor's terminal or chat window with your actual transmission records.

Q: How do I configure this MCP server for my project?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root. Add the server configuration under the mcpServers key to let the editor's agent access the tools.

Write code that automatically sends and tracks physical faxes directly inside Cursor using Agent mode.

Perplexity

Generate code that triggers `send_fax` via Cursor MCP

Use the `send_fax` tool to let the Cursor AI agent write and test actual document transmission code using live API responses. You don't have to rely on mock payloads anymore. If a test transmission fails during your debug cycle, the agent can call `resend_fax` to retry the operation. This keeps your development loop fast because you are testing real endpoints directly inside your editor.

Debug transmission states inside your editor

Use the `get_fax_status` tool to verify delivery states while writing your document-handling code in Cursor. The editor's agent mode inspects the live status of your test transmissions directly. You can also have Cursor call `list_faxes` to pull down your recent transmission history. This lets the Cursor agent write automated tests against real, historical document metadata instead of placeholder arrays.

Manage document pipelines via this MCP Server

Use the `download_fax` tool to retrieve inbound files directly into your workspace while building your document pipelines in Cursor. The agent can automatically write parser code for the downloaded PDFs as soon as they arrive. If a test script goes loop-crazy, run `cancel_fax` to kill the outgoing queue before you run up your API bill. This gives you complete control over your transmission test environments.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ifax-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }

Common questions about iFax MCP in Cursor

Yes, you can use Cursor in Agent mode to run the `send_fax` tool. The editor executes the tool locally so you can verify the base64 payload transfer immediately.

Ask the Cursor agent to fetch your log. It will run `list_faxes` to populate your editor's terminal or chat window with your actual transmission records.

Yes, if you have a stuck transmission, tell the Cursor agent to stop it. The agent will invoke `cancel_fax` to terminate the queue instantly.

Create a `.cursor/mcp.json` file in your project root. Add the server configuration under the `mcpServers` key to let the editor's agent access the tools.

The raw PDF files, base64 document strings, and recipient metadata are processed strictly on your local machine. Cursor only sends the tool execution schemas to the LLM provider, meaning your actual document contents are never exposed during coding sessions.
