How to Use the Intruder MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure the Intruder MCP server in my Cursor editor?

Add the server to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root or global settings. Once configured, your Cursor agent can run commands like listissues to pull live security metrics.

Q: Can the Intruder MCP Server in Cursor modify my cloud integrations?

No, the server operates with read-only endpoints. Running listcloudintegrations only displays your configured AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud targets without modifying any settings.

Q: How does Cursor use the Intruder toolset during active debugging?

Your Cursor agent uses getissue to pull real-time vulnerability data directly into your workspace. It then matches the advisory text with your local codebase to suggest accurate security patches.

Q: How do I check team access using this MCP server?

Use the listteams tool to view the organizational groups configured on your account. This is useful for verifying which development teams have access to specific targets inside your workspace.

Inspect active vulnerabilities and map scanned targets directly inside your Cursor editor while writing code.

Debug security flaws inline with Cursor

The `list_issues` tool pulls your live vulnerability catalog straight into your Cursor active editor. Your AI agent reads the severity levels and status to match open issues with the exact files you are editing. When you need the remediation details, use `get_issue` to fetch the specific fix advice. Cursor then writes the patch for you using real vulnerability descriptions instead of generic security advice.

Audit target environments during development

The `list_targets` tool lists all active infrastructure and application assets directly in your Cursor terminal or chat. You can verify which servers are currently being monitored while configuring deployment scripts. Use `get_target` to fetch specific asset metadata and tags to ensure your staging environments match production. If you notice missing servers, run `list_cloud_integrations` to verify how your cloud infrastructure syncs with your scanner.

Analyze scan histories directly inside your editor

The `list_scans` tool retrieves detailed history for previous security assessments right within Cursor. This allows you to verify scan frequency and confirm if recent code deployments triggered automated checks. Use `get_scan` to get a summary of findings and targets included in a specific run. Cursor parses this data to help you verify that your latest build did not introduce new critical vulnerabilities.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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