How to Use the Impala MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I test city search functions using Impala in Cursor?

Ask your Cursor agent to write a search component. It runs searchhotelsbycity to pull real property lists, letting you test your UI rendering with actual data.

Q: Can Cursor check room availability using Impala during agent runs?

Yes, the Cursor agent executes checkavailability to fetch live inventory status. You can use these live payloads to debug your booking state-machine logic.

Q: How do I pull property images into my Cursor workspace using Impala?

The Cursor agent runs getphotos to grab live image URLs. This lets you populate your local UI components with real hotel photos during development.

Q: What tool should I use to debug room type arrays using the MCP?

Have the Cursor agent call getroomtypes to see the exact structure of the room metadata payload. You can then write precise TypeScript interfaces based on the actual JSON output.

Generate real hotel code in Cursor

Don't write code with fake hotel mock data in your editor. Cursor uses the `get_hotel` tool to inject actual property metadata directly into your active codebase. The editor's agent writes functions using real API payloads, ensuring your front-end components handle actual hotel names and descriptions correctly from the start.

Live rate integration in Cursor

Build pricing calculators using actual live numbers. This MCP Server exposes `get_rates` to Cursor so your editor can test calculation logic against real-time hotel pricing. The Cursor agent writes and runs tests using live figures instead of hardcoded stubs. This prevents integration bugs when you deploy your pricing microservice.

Build review parsers inside Cursor

Test your reputation sentiment analysis code using actual guest feedback. Cursor calls `get_reviews` to pull real guest comments directly into your test environment. Your Cursor agent writes parsing regex and classification models using actual text blocks. This ensures your review-sorting algorithm handles real-world formatting and typos.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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