Build custom dashboard queries inside Cursor

Let the Cursor agent run `list_projects` to pull active project IDs directly into your open source files. You can write database schemas and API endpoints that map to real, live project data instead of guessing the structural format. Use `list_tasks` to feed actual task structures into your local code generator. This ensures the internal tools you build match the exact payload format returned by the tracking platform.

Integrate team structures using the Cursor MCP Server

Run `list_teams` directly from the Cursor sidebar to verify how your organization is mapped. You can use this active team list to mock up custom reporting interfaces with authentic organizational structures. If you need to map specific managers to their squads, have the editor run `get_employee` to pull real department keys. This keeps your local development environment aligned with the actual company directory.

Test webhook endpoints inside your Cursor editor

Call `list_webhooks` in Cursor to verify which URLs receive live event notifications. You can inspect active endpoints without jumping out of your code editor to check external developer settings. This lets you write precise event handlers because you can see the exact active webhook configurations. It speeds up local integration testing since your editor knows exactly where the data flows.

Setup guide

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

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