How to Use the itch.io MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure the itch.io server in Cursor?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root. Add the MCP Server details and your API token, then enable Agent mode in the chat panel to start querying.

Q: Can Cursor edit my itch.io game pages?

No, the current toolset is read-only. Tools like getusergames let you view your profile and library data, but you cannot modify prices or upload game builds.

Q: Why does Cursor need my itch.io developer profile?

The getme tool verifies your identity and credentials. This ensures the agent has the correct permissions to fetch your private game lists and collections.

Build tools and query your itch.io game data directly within Cursor.

Pull Indie Game Metadata into Cursor

The `get_user_games` tool feeds your itch.io development portfolio and purchased library data directly into the Cursor editor. Your agent reads actual game titles, prices, and developer profiles to generate accurate code structures instead of relying on placeholder data. This keeps your coding flow uninterrupted when building custom library managers or portfolio sites. You get real data injected straight into your active workspace.

Inspect Game Bundles using this MCP Server

The `get_collection_games` tool retrieves complete game lists from any specific itch.io collection ID. It returns developer details and cover image URLs directly to your Cursor agent. If you are building a custom dashboard, this tool lets your editor fetch live API payloads to test your UI components. You don't have to manually write mock JSON files anymore.

Map Collections inside the Editor

The `get_user_collections` tool lists your itch.io collection names, IDs, and URLs inside Cursor. Your agent uses this structure to map out database schemas or API endpoints. Having these IDs handy means you can quickly pass them to other tools without leaving your code files. It speeds up local development when working on itch.io integrations.

Setup guide

Set up itch.io 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 itch.io 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.

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent itch.io transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the itch.io tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.
