How to Use the InfoVetted MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I add the InfoVetted MCP Server to my Cursor editor?

Add the server configuration to your global /.cursor/mcp.json file. Once saved, enable Agent mode to let your editor call the background check tools.

Q: Can Cursor query InfoVetted to check active background checks?

Yes, the listvettingrequests tool allows Cursor to pull all background checks directly into your terminal or chat window. This lets you inspect active payloads without opening a browser.

Q: Does Cursor support webhook testing with InfoVetted?

The listconfiguredwebhooks tool fetches your active webhooks so Cursor can help you write local listeners using this MCP tool. You can verify your payload structures against the exact webhooks registered on your account.

Q: How do I cancel a check if my test script fails?

Run cancelactivevetting via the chat panel to stop the check instantly. This keeps your testing budget safe from accidental automated runs.

Pull candidate data into Cursor with this MCP Server

The `get_contact_details` tool fetches complete profiles for specific candidates during your active coding sessions. Cursor uses this live payload to generate precise TypeScript interfaces or database schemas instead of relying on outdated mock profiles. You can feed these records straight into your local test suites. This lets you debug your onboarding pipelines using actual data formats from your screening database.

Trigger background checks from your editor

Initiating background checks is simple when you use `create_new_vetting_check` inside Cursor's agent window. Your agent writes the integration logic and tests the API call in real-time, executing the check without leaving your workspace. To inspect the exact payload, run `list_supported_check_types` first. This gives your agent the precise screening codes needed to build compliant checkout flows.

Register screening contacts while coding

Adding new candidates to your screening pipeline is handled by `create_screening_contact`. When you test your registration endpoints, Cursor calls this tool to verify your database matches the background check vendor's records. Querying your database is simple with `list_screening_contacts`. It returns active candidate profiles so you can verify that your backend sync is working correctly.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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