How to Use the Infisical MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure the Infisical MCP server in Cursor?

Add the server block to your project's .cursor/mcp.json file or your global settings. Once configured, enable Cursor's agent mode in the chat panel to let the editor invoke secret management tools.

Q: Can Cursor run updates on my Infisical secrets?

Yes, Cursor can execute updatesecret to change values directly from the editor chat. You must grant the underlying machine identity the write permissions required to modify those paths.

Q: Can I audit secret access logs inside Cursor?

Yes, you can ask the editor to run listauditlogs to output recent changes to your terminal or chat window. This makes it easy to track down who modified a key without leaving your codebase.

Pull encrypted Infisical secrets straight into your Cursor workspace using this dedicated MCP Server.

Generate code with live Cursor MCP Server data

The Infisical MCP server connects Cursor directly to your project's encrypted vault. When you use Cursor's agent mode to write database connection logic, the editor calls `get_secret` to get the exact keys. This ensures your generated code matches the exact naming conventions of your remote environment. Instead of using dummy placeholders or stale mock values in your files, your Cursor agent populates configuration files with active metadata. It checks your target workspace using `get_project_info` to keep your local environment variables accurate while you write code.

Manage project environments inside Cursor

The Infisical MCP server lets Cursor use `list_environments` to inspect configured project environments directly from the editor sidebar. Your Cursor agent reads the available environments to help you write accurate config loaders for development, staging, or production. If you need to check which values are currently active, your Cursor agent runs `list_secrets` on your selected path. This prints the configuration keys directly into your active editor context so you can debug environment mismatches instantly.

Safely provision new credentials as you code

The Infisical MCP server allows your Cursor agent to use `create_secret` to register new API keys in your central vault. This ensures the new key is documented and stored securely before you even run your first local build in Cursor. If you need to update an existing database password, your Cursor agent executes `update_secret` to push the change immediately. You never have to leave your Cursor window to open a web browser or run external CLI commands.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Infisical MCP in Cursor

Add the server block to your project's `.cursor/mcp.json` file or your global settings. Once configured, enable Cursor's agent mode in the chat panel to let the editor invoke secret management tools.

Yes, Cursor can execute `update_secret` to change values directly from the editor chat. You must grant the underlying machine identity the write permissions required to modify those paths.

Your connection tokens are handled locally by Cursor's runtime environment. The agent only accesses specific keys when you explicitly ask it to run `get_secret` or `list_secrets` for your active file context.

Yes, you can ask the editor to run `list_audit_logs` to output recent changes to your terminal or chat window. This makes it easy to track down who modified a key without leaving your codebase.

No, decrypted audit logs and machine identities fetched via `list_identities` are kept in your local editor memory. Cursor only passes the specific text outputs to its LLM context window to answer your direct queries, and none of this data is stored permanently.
