How to Use the Jservice MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure the Jservice MCP server inside Cursor?

Add the server configuration to your .cursor/mcp.json file at the root of your project. Once saved, enable Agent mode in the chat panel to let the editor call the MCP tools.

Q: Can Cursor generate code using live Jservice data?

Yes, the editor uses the live JSON payloads from getcategory to write accurate schemas and functions. This ensures your generated code matches the actual structure of the trivia database.

Q: How many random clues can I fetch at once in Cursor?

The getrandomclues tool limits each request to 100 items. This protects your editor's context window from getting overloaded with excessive text.

Generate code using live Jeopardy! clues directly in Cursor using this dedicated integration.

Build game logic with real Cursor MCP Server data

The `get_random_clues` tool fetches up to 100 random trivia questions directly into your Cursor composer. You write game loops using actual database responses instead of coding against static stubs. Cursor reads the structured output to generate TypeScript interfaces that match the API payload exactly. This prevents runtime errors when you deploy your trivia application to production.

Pull category datasets to seed your local database

The `get_categories` tool retrieves batches of up to 100 topics directly inside your Cursor editor window. You use this list to seed your local test database with real historical categories. Your AI agent writes migration scripts based on the exact schema returned by the tool. You get working code that maps to the database structure on your first try.

Filter clues by air date and value in Cursor

The `get_clues` tool filters the Jeopardy! database by point value, category ID, or air date directly from your editor. You test how your code handles null values or missing data fields by pulling specific edge-case clues. The editor uses these live responses to debug your parsing logic in real-time. This eliminates the need to run separate curl commands in an external terminal window.

Setup guide

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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